I tried the full face mask for 2 nights. It leaked like crazy. Went back to the nose one last night. I can sleep on my side with it.

I had one mask that I hated more than all the others. The one that goes up your nose. Man that one sucked so bad. One night I only slept with it for about a hour. I woke up and said screw this thing and ripped it off and went back to sleep!! Lol I'm hoping once I loose weight I acn get rid of the damn thing.

I hear ya! It's a scary thing. But I'm ready to get this done!

Case review tomorriw!
Dawnolson replied to Dawnolson's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! The review was today but no phone call yet. I heard tomorrow we will hear. One of the other gals said there was 12 people being reviewed. Tomorrow I'll know! -
Hopefully my file is ok'd and I have a surgeon visit soon! I did hear that they are about 3 weeks after you are ok'd them about the same timeframe for the surgery. I'm hoping by May and not June.

I just got a full face one and slept with it last night. It did leak too!! I'm going to tighten it up tonight and see if that helps. Hating the damn thing really!!
-
I did a home sleep study. It so sucked!! I now have my CPAP and I can't find a mask I like. I am using it every night though. Try try again right.
-
I think I'll be having surgery sometime in May. I hope anyway. My file is being reviewed tomorrow and hopefully being scheduled to see a surgeon.

Hate them! I get them all the time. Use prep H but only fixes the swelling.

I had the ablation done over a year ago now! No period at all. Whoop whoop!! So happy about that.
-
I had an ablation done! Also had a polyp that was causing a lot of bleeding. No period now at all!!!! Yes! Love it!

I have two mini weenie dogs and my little guy just had to have disc surgery! He had a ruptured disc in his neck!! It was awful!! I was so upset!! We could not afford to have this surgery done but I begged my parents to help us. We had to pay$4500 for the surgery.. He is only 5 so there was no way I could even think about putting him down.. He's my baby and is a super sweet boy. He still has the staples. Should get them out on Wednesday. Thankful for my parents!

I am hating my CPAP too. Go to bed at 10:00 and will keep it on until around2:00 am then off it goes! One night it was 12:30. I don't know if I will ever get used to it or like it.
-

info meeting changed my choice
Dawnolson replied to dirich's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dirich go with Kaiser! I'm on Kaiser in Oregon and I'm not going to be paying anything for mine. I am a union employee of kaiser though but they do have good coverage! -
They did 5 vials of blood on mine and then I had to go in two bottles. One had to be sterile. So hd to start in one bottle, stop, the wipe with sterile pad then go again in the new bottle!!! I was like you want me to stop in mid stream!! She laughed and said yup!! I was like Okay then. Got it done though. Lol

Dawnolson replied to Pam Peltz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My surgery is still coming. I'm close now though. I have blood tests and then see the surgeon!! Hopefully will have surgery by May. It seems to take forever between appointments. -
That sounds good too!
