results on sleep study



Recommended Posts

I finally got the results on the sleep study I had on Sept. 21st. I have obstructive sleep apnea. I have to schedule second appointment for cpap. I am really dreading this because the sleep study was horrible for me. The study started around 10pm and I was still wide awake at 2am. I finally went to sleep for about an hour and was wide awake again. The bed was very uncomfortable, and there were a lot of traffic sounds from outside. Will they have to hook up all those wires again?

Hi. I too had a sleep study and now sleep with a cpap. The appointment after the sleep study was a simple one where I learned how to use the machine and then took the machine home. I use a device called a nasal pillow. It is much more comfortable to me than the mask that covers the nose. It took me a bit to get accustomed to sleeping with the cpap but the health improvements are so worth it!

Good luck!!!

I had a horrible experience with the sleep study, but it was mainly me. The place tht I went to have taken over 3 rooms in the HIlton so it was much like staying in a hotel. The issue is that I didn't like being away from home wi th that dang machine on top of my lip..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
