I was told that the data is transmitted to your doctors office asap...the way the lady from novasom explained it to me by phone is that once you submit the data your through the device wireless it goes directly to the doctors office...you can also call the place that will be shipping you the device to use for clarity

Hahaha, I was really nice to the sleep tech, and they showed me my results before I left the building. I knew what that meant... CPAP (And by the way, after about two nights I adjusted to CPAP, and LOVE it!!!

I was told right away by the sleep tech as my results were that bad. I was then informed by my doctor of the results and was fitted for a BIPAP and mask within 5 days. NOTE: The BiPAP is used to treat severe obstructive sleep apnea. I've never herd of BIPAP until this. I love it ever since the first night. I feel very rested now. But I cannot wait to loose enough weight to hopefully not need the BIPAP anymore.

Head's Up! This is ANOTHER thing to focus on. It WILL make sleeping "different" until to adjust to it. BUT WHEN YOU DO, it will make a world of POSITIVE difference to the quality of your sleep (and the happiness of your partner). After 6 months I usually wake up wondering why I took the mask off -- and I haven't... it's still comfortably on my face!

      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.
