Sleep study question?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

Has anyone been able to complete surgery with having a sleep study ruled as inconclusive?

I went last night for my sleep study and the tech wanted me to sleep on my back. I'm completely unable to sleep on my back because when I relax enough I feel smothered and I wake myself up. I tossed and turned until 230 when I finally told her I was going to have to turn on my stomach to sleep. In the morning after not sleeping longer than 45 minutes at a time, She said that there was some interesting findings when I was sleeping on my belly but because it was not being visually recorded she was unsure as to what the doctor was going to do.

She said he could do one of three things.

1. he could rule the study as inconclusive.

2. he could have me return for additional night study using sleeping medication to aid me.

3. he could rule the study as I have sleep apnea and have me come back in for a sleep study with the CPAP.

My question is, if you rules the sleep study is inconclusive will that not allow me to continue with having bariatric surgery?

Is there anyone else out there that has not been able to complete the sleep study because they've not been able to fall asleep for being a belly sleeper?

Thanks in advance!
