Well, I'm here at the sleep study, its actually pretty nice. An actual full (maybe queen) size bed in a room, kinda looks like a hotel room little smaller, and bathroom is in hall (its in a doctor office) I'm nervous because I haven't slept without my hubby and when I do sleep away from him I don't actually sleep! The doc gave me a 3mg of lunesta to try to help hopeing it will work. Haven't gotten set up yet, soon though. Already little sleepy (but assumeing that's from my monthly visitor and how early I was up today 6ish and not to bed till after midnight) so hopeing this goes well, I know they are putting a cpap machine on me and if I need it will turn it on. This is gonna be a night that's for sure. Anyways hopefully things go great and I get this done so I can move to the next thing lol gl to me and hopefully no sleep apnea! (My bmi is already at 53 and have high blood presure so I'm already set for that kind of approval)

I am also here at my study! Just got set up and ready to go to bed. I am the same way! I have not slept alone in years and hoping I am able to actually sleep!

My BMI is 57 and I also have high blood pressure. I am fairly certain I have sleep apnea though.

Good luck!

To be honest a night away from my extreme snorer boyfriend, and the thrills of a baby would be AWESOME!! He snores so bad, I sometimes have to go sleep on the couch. Ugh....

It was awful. I can't sleep. I may have to come back and do it all over again bc I couldn't stay asleep.

Now I have to go home and deal with 2 babies after a night of maybe, 2 hours total of sleep.< /p>

I'm sorry AB. I slept ok. Got about 5-6 hrs of sleep. Did wake up a few times tossing and turning and the thing they put in my noise that goes over my mouth to monitor breathing that annoyed the crap out of me! Butthe tech said I won't be needing to come back for a second one. And they didn't put the cpap on me so yay no sleep apnea. (didn't say I didn't have out just assuming) just come back the 21st to talk about my results and be one step closer to my surgery.

Well I was worried for nothing. Of the one hour I was asleep I had 58 apneas. I go back tonight for another study with a cpap.

I had trouble sleeping with my at home study. I did it two weeks ago and no answers yet. I don't know how they expect people to sleep with a box thing on your chest and wires getting in the way all night long. It was a rough night for sure.

I hope I can do mine at home, I have a 10 month old. And although he will sleep through the night, I don't want to have to find a babysitter just so I can go sleep lol

      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.

      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.
