Woot...no Sleep Apnea!



Recommended Posts

Had my sleep study on 9/7. The sleep tech said that she believed I did show signs of it but that of course a dr would review it and get back to me. Heard from the pulmanologist today and I did have a few episodes but not enough to qualify me as sleep apnea. He is sure that it will get better after the surgery. I'm just so excited that I don't have it :).

Thanks :). I was surprised. Not because I thought I had it but bc the pulse ox thing I had to do the weekend before they said was consistent with apnea which was why I was sent for the study.

My sleep study was required by my insurance company. I passed with flying colors! One less thing. I have enough co-morbidities already!

Good luck, Limalover! Just remember that if you do have sleep apnea, the chances are great that you will 'outgrow' it with the sleeve!

Good luck!

I am taking my home test back today. I have already had the pulse ox and had to do this one. I hope I don't have it. I have my date Oct 19, and my pre-op on Tuesday. This could hold me up a bit if I need a mask.

      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.
