    Sleep study

    I had one last week and they dropped it off at 7pm and picked it around 7am would have come earlier but I didn't have to work. They even caked me with my results and report after 3 days. My mom had her done by a different doctor. She picked hers up and then dropped it off the next day. It is very easy they show you and give you written instructions. I had a pulse oxygen reading on right hand finger. Nasal sensor (looks like I was getting oxygen) and a band with a monitor around my chest.

    I called when I was going through none. No you don't have to go to a center of excellence. By your doctor and hospital must be preferred and make sure that their NPI number they bill under is preferred.

  25. I hope I have my own room. I am extremely excited, nervous and ready. My husband is super supportive. Thank god. I am ready to feel alive again without all the pain. To be able to do stuff with my 11 year old and not be out of breath, tired, or ready to sit down cause in pain. The crazy part people look at me and make the comment I didn't know you weighed that much. I hide it well. @@dhrguru
