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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      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.
