Just wondering if anyone else has this & if so how hard was it to get approved?

Thank you.. Yea I go the 9th for my first sleep study & then if they see anything I have to go back the 14 for the Cpap one.. I was just hoping they wouldnt postpone my surgrey b/c I might need that machine..

OK SO I am schedule do do my sleep study test here in a few days. My question is this say AFTER the results come back & say the dr say I do have sleep apnea will they postpone my Surgrey date?

OK I went to my Sleep Study Consult today & he thinks I have Sleep Apnea. I go next Wednesday night for the testing.. My question is if they say I do have it will Postpone my surgery?

Went to my psych. Evaluation not to bad. That will take her 2 weeks to get back to Charlene. One good thing was she was able to give me phone # to a Sleep apnea doctor in Newark & called them & they just got a cancelation for tomorrow So I get to go tomorrow And do my sleep apnea consult appointment & hopefully schedule my test soon. So the only thing left is my nutrition class but that will have to wait till after Christmas because they want $ 200.00 up front & I want to get Christmas out of the way. So I am getting things done a lot quicker than I thought .

k sense my last post I decided to call around & suck up the long drive & I now how a appointment for my psych. evual. Monday :thumbup:

I am hoping for a mid to late January. unfortunally can not get my psych or sleep study done till the beginning of the year?:ohmy:

Today I had a with Meeting Dr. Miller. really liked him. Now in the process of Step 2 of this Journey... Doesn't look I can move forward till after Jan. Good thing is I only need to do 3 things: Psychological Clearance, Sleep Study & of course Bariatric Nutritional Education. I went with one of there Dr's (Dr. Michael Saribalas) who does both Psych & Sleep study @ the same Appointment. Unfortunately I cant get him into Him till Jan. 8 Th :ohmy: My Insurance doesn't require any supervised diets. I still need to decide which band I am going to use.

So this time tomorrow I will be @ my appointment. Have to admit I am excited :biggrin: but @ the same time a Little nervous.:biggrin:.

Wishing every one good :thumbup:luck on tomorrow banding!!

The Seminar I went to I took my 17yr old daughter with me & there was people who brought LITTLE kids there. There was a decent amount of people @ the one I was @ but not extremely crowed.
