When you are sitting there wanting cake and ice cream just picture what you will look like on your next birthday!! If I was you I'd go out for a birthday dinner before your Pre-op diet starts. Good luck!

I just saw my Pulmonary Doctor. So it look like have to get a sleep study done

Me too on the sleep study This part is frustrating, seems very unnessesary. BUT, thinking about end result.

Sorry to hear that two of you need the sleep study... what do you have to do for it? I imagine you having to fall asleep and they monitor you? how did they determine you need the study?

[Creekwood 702]

Ugh, good old sleep studies. Been there (I have sleep apnea). When I went the first night they hook you up to a million things and you sleep while they monitor you. Then you will come back for a second night and they will get a mask for you to wear to determine what pressure you need (depends on severity on your sleep apnea, assuming that you have it). This was way before I even thought of surgery, so I'm not sure what exactly is done for testing for insurance purposes.

[SJIrish 22]

DR. said that they will hook me up with wires and monitor me. If I have sleep apnea they hook up there

[cat whisperer 127]

Well I hope the studies go as well as they can for you both. It's a shame you have to deal with this to complicate things.
