sleep apnea sleep apnea testing

[ElliottWasHere 41]

I finally finished the final thingy majingy on the list for surgery, which was a sleep apnea test. So my question is..what now? I was told it can take up to 3 weeks to get results. Is it really 3 weeks? I hope they over estimated to give themselves some wiggle from.

I work for a doctors office... When you do a sleep study they get the results get back in two- three days generally ... What you're gonna be waiting on is a surgery date to become available and your preop instructions pretty much I think

Let me know about your surgery mine is going to be in a month or so

I had a sleep study this spring before I was even thinking about surgery. It took a few weeks to be submitted to my PCP.

It took 2 weeks for my study to be read. I am a proud owner of a CPAP machine. We don't get along But we are trying.

That is strange but I guess every place is different in getting reports depending on the lab that's doing the test. Before I got my lap band I went through sleep apnea testing And was diagnosed with OSA. After going from 240 pounds 165 pounds I still had the same score on my sleep apnea test or the same restriction.

After getting my sleep apnea machine prior to my banding, I believe I did have to wait a week or two For my surgery and a date to become available.

When you're looking for a device for your sleep apnea For a mask should I say Make sure you try all the options the night of your sleep study. I chose the one that just went over my nose because I am not a mouth breather or someone who snores. There are several different styles to choose from. If you do suffer from OSA( Obstructed sleep apnea). When you wear your mask at night you will notice a drastic improvement in your quality sleep for as little or as much as you get.
