dkna2 13 Posted May 15, 2012 I had my sleep study last night. It was ok I was just nervous not being at home and in my routine environment. I have to go back for a second night on Thursday and she said they are gonna put the CPAP on me to sleep this time. Does that mean I have sleep apnea? She said the doctor will do his report after second visit and call me back in for an appointment. I am gonna ask Thursday does it look like I have sleep apne.

dkna2 13 Posted May 16, 2012 I didn't sleep with CPAP THIS TIME BUT SHE SAID I WILL NEED IT FOR MY NEXT STUDY THURSDAY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValerieSJackson 35 Posted May 16, 2012 Oh I was thinking you did it last Thursday not tomorrow. From the tiny photo you don't look overweight; if you in fact have apnea it should improve after weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkna2 13 Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks for the compliment. I am 5'7 and 239 lbs. my bmi is 37.1 so I'm not as high of a BMI as some but I am considered obese unfortunately. I went to my study part 1 on Monday and I go for the second part tomorrow. So I will keep you posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkna2 13 Posted May 18, 2012 I am here at the sleep center and she has confirmed that I have sleep apnea. I have to sleep with CPAP tonite. I want to know what all does this mean? I'm so nervous and I don't wanna be 55 at 34 years of age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had 3 months from other weight loss programs. I completed 90 consecutive days with SMSWLC/ Dr. Avara. I don't think that weight watchers will qualify. I like Dr. Avara because he's easy to approach and down to earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
