Sleep Study ... from Home...



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had the sleep study where they sent you the device to your home and you wore it for two nights? That is what they are doing with me. I didn't know they could do that. That is so cool!

I did, but I only had to do it once.

I did mine at home too, but it was only for one night. Let me tell you, that was the worst night of sleep I have had in a very long time.

inarakatra

No

I had to go to this psych ward - i mean "sleep center" :lol:

spent the lllllllllllongest night of my life!!!!

all hooked up like a martian - woke me up periodically, after i had dozed off for a few minutes!!! :angry:

tests came back positive for sleep apnea

added "plus" co-morbities enabling me to have WLS approved (worse is better?? :o )

being at goal i've stopped wearing my mask - but i should probably have the official test again to confirm i don't have sleep apnea

good luck with your "test" ;)

luck with your WLS

speedy, safe recovery too

Thanks for the responses. :) I'm excited to be getting closer to my date, but not about trying to sleep with a device to my head.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
