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

Mine was put through as STAT and it still took two weeks.

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.

I'm also getting the BIPAP.

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!
