SD2013 13 Posted April 30, 2013 Hope everyone is doing well here! Forgive me for I am a newbie! I started out going to a seminar in March and had my consultation April 11. I was told that I would need to have an EGD, evaluation and they really wanted me to have a sleep study. I am scheduled for the evaluation May 6 and EGD May 7. I just got a call that they wanted to do the sleep study TONIGHT!!! Seriously?!?! Talk about moving fast!!! I'm really excited about getting things done so quickly though. I opted to do the study Friday instead due to work being so crazy right now. I'm really struggling with the idea I may have sleep apnea. I know it's ok but I'm such a light sleeper that I'm worried about the noise of the CPAP. I'm really hoping that by losing weight it will help me with not having to have a machine. I know there are a lot of other people that do just fine with it. I just don't really want one. Anyone else feel this way?!?! After you have a CPAP do you ever not have to have it?!?! Just curious...and nervous!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devichan 79 Posted April 30, 2013 My husband's CPAP is barely audible. He's completely adjusted to it and it's made a huge difference in his life. You won't be such a light sleeper anymore if you need one... you'll rest much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious...and nervous!!! My boyfriend has one and the difference between his quality of sleep before and now is amazing. The noise on the newer ones are minimal. Once you get adjusted and there is an adjustment stage of a few nights, you will wonder how you slept without it. Don't worry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SD2013 13 Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks for the welcome! Just freaking out about something new I guess. How easy/hard is it to travel with? I'm so excited about the weight loss journey that I plan on traveling more after I hit my goal. I would love to take a cruise as a reward! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
