My sleep test was not bad they gave me a sleeping pill. I found out I have moderate apnea (bad news but good for the insurance approval) Did they offer to give you a sleep aide?

This is a great site with so much information!

Hang in there it will get better, just think of all th enew clothes you will be able to buy and how good your going to feel :cry_smile:

Look at the possitive your improving your health. I am pre banding and have started to stop eating pizza and chips and soad so I am not graving them any more. I want to be healthy and not fat with high BP, and sleep apnea so to get to my goal food has to go and replaced with healthy food and exercise. Stay positive things will get better

Hello, I just did my sleep test last night. I went to a pulmonary sleep study lab and they have a private room. They hook up wires on you its very simple. It was hard for me to get to sleep as I was in a strange place but I finally did. I arrived for the test at 9pm and left at 6am. Around 1am they came in a put a mask on me to see if that would help me sleep. The nurse said it helped me to sleep and everything ran smooth not sure if that means I have sleep apnea or not will find out in a few days. I have read many post about how awfull the test is but my experiance was great the staff was awesome and very accomedating to me. Once your all done and go home they told me to use dishsoap to get the goop out of your hair ( from the probes they place in 6 spots) this worked excellant and the goop all came out easy. My next step is to see the surgeon yeah I am very excited and you will really like this forum there is so much information. If you have any questions feel free to email me jazma2007@yahoo.com Take care

Please let me know how it goes. I am waiting for a call to schedule my sleep study. I hate to sleep any place but my bed at home I am not sure how I am going to fall asleep. I wish you best :sad_smile:

Tell your freinds and family that you would like them to stay home and celebrate the new life you will soon be living. This is a special time for you and you prefer to be alone...

Best of luck on your weight loss :huh2:
