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.

      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.
