I had a couple of sleep studies a few years ago. It did take me a bit longer to drop off but you get there eventually and they still managed to get accurate information.

I had my uvula removed a few weeks later, which was a success and I no longer have sleep apopnea (apopnea is quite a rare and a milder version of apnea). I was so grateful to get properly diagnosed and treated and I've not looked back since! biggrin.gif

When i had my sleep study, they hooked me up to all these different probes and wires, on my head, face, something around my chest, wires on my legs and something on my fingers and you have to lay on your back, i thought there was no way i would ever sleep. slept my restless sleep for the first hour until they woke me up to try me on the c-pap and then i slept like a champion. i couldn't wait for the results to get the machine. now as i look forward to having surgery, i can't wait to get rid of the machine!

Be prepared to wash your hair in the morning. Lots of gunk due to the electrode paste.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
