Generally you are tested for sleep apnea because you have shown signs of having sleep apnea.

Hi Everyone,
I will be doing my sleep test next week, I’m not sure if I do have sleep apnea to start the process for my gastric sleeve surgery. If I don’t have sleep apnea I’m kinda screwed I won’t be able to move with the process for the sleeve surgery. Does anyone know how to get sleep apnea? Or cheat on the sleep test? I snore at night but I don’t suffer of hypertension or diabetes I’m a fat healthy person. I loose weight and gain fast I’m 225lbs right now I want to get the surgery done to keep my weight and look and feel healthy.

Your insurance must require you to have something wrong in order to have them pay for it. I am also fat but healthy and I didn't need anything to be wrong with with me just a bmi of 40. I just made it with a bmi of 41. Call your insurance and see what their requirements are.

Have you had a sleep study done yet? If not have one done soon

Do you know your BMI? If not, here is a calculator:

Hi everyone, I’m a good healthy condition but I’m fat. I’m interested on getting the bariatric sleeve done, i have struggled with my weight since i was a kid. Anyway I need to have high blood pressure and cholesterol in which I don’t have I don’t know what to do. The nurse told me that I needed to have sleep apnea in order to go forward with the process. Can I get any suggestions????? Thanks
