I have mild apnea they said.... it's really hard for me to sleep with it. I can get like 4 hours before I'm up and taking it off. I'm use to sleeping on my stomach and it's hard to do with that tube.

I have my consult with my surgeon next month so I have been through the sleep apnea test already. I didn't think I had sleep apnea and come to Find out I do. I know once I found in had it I had to use it every night since that appt. Do I use it??? Not really. I understand the importance of it but I work 2 jobs and I do not get any sleep with it on. It's really uncomfortable and it wakes me up every night. It is very quiet and I have the newest version on the machine but I can't get use to it. My surgeon required you to bring it on day of surgery or you will not have surgery. Hopefully you have better luck with it than I do. I have tried different mask and everything but I can't get use to it. Good luck guys!

Fall surgery dates, where are you
brittneywlsj posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So this past Tuesday my case was reviewed and approved for the vsg! Yesterday I got a call from the surgeons office that my consult will be sept 25. Which is almost 2 months away. So I'm probably having my surgery in october. Or early November. This is def linger than I anticipated, however I'm am grateful that I was approved with no hassle. Did anyone else have a big gap from approval to their first appt or surgery date? Who else will be having surgery in the fall? -

brittneywlsj replied to brittneywlsj's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's great. I will get a surgery date on Sept 25. I have kaiser so I had to go through a 6 month preparation program first. I will be glad when all the wait is over. I was required to do all the testing and eval during my 6 months so hopefully there is not much I ill need to do before surgery. Good luck on your approval. -
