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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
