I refused to do it so I never did. Know of too many people that were told they had sleep apnea and they get a machine and try to use it and it sits in their closet.

I've had 2 different ones. If anything, they're good for a photo op with all the goofy sensors hooked up to you :)

SERIOUSLY!!!! The sleep study did not go good for me. I could not get comfortable nor could I sleep on my stomach. I'll be curious as to what they say about it. It was not a normal sleep for me.

I did my sleep study last night too!!!

I was the exact same way...couldn't get to sleep and couldn't sleep on my stomach. I tried to get comfy on my side but it just wasn't working for me. (I have never been a back sleeper) I came home so exhausted and slept all morning! I'm sure it was not an accurate test!

I tried to sleep -- strange room, too soft bed, wrong side of bed, all hooked up. They woke me up at midnight to rehook a wire, had to pee at 4 am, woke me up at 5:20 to ask if I wanted to go home or go back to sleep. LOL. They wanted me to come back for a second test. I said no thanks.

I did my sleep study on April 16th, and found out I had moderate to severe apnea. That explains part of why I am so tired and sleepy all the time. I went back on April 29 for a titration sleep study, where they fitted me with a cpap machine. I slept incredibly well that time, unlike the first time when I was awake most of the night. Yesterday I got my own cpap machine and slept with it for the first time last night. I felt pretty well today, and that is so encouraging. I'm really hoping to get a lot of my energy and joy of life back with this contraption.

Anyway...since I've been diagnosed, I can use this as a co-morbidity for my insurance requirement. My BMI is right on the edge, and I haven't been approved by my insurance yet,

I had severe sleep apnea which they found during my sleep study. I needed a bipap machine and I did use it. I had it for after surgery which helped in recovery. That was 1/15 (my surgery) and since then I've lost 80lbs and was able to get off of it! Total NSV for me!

      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.
