Im sad because I might not qualify

[Sassy in pink 19]

I had my primary appt on Friday and they took my height and weight and his saying that I'm 5'3 and I'm 215 but my surgeon said I was good that I will qualify because they didn't think I was 5'3 the nurse said 'I think you're 5'1 1/2 so now with this information it will make my BMI of 38.8

But my surgeon said my BMI is 40 and I was good! So now I have hope that my sleep apnea test come back positive for sleep apnea then I will be ok! But when I had my test I couldn't sleep for nothing and I don't know how good the test will be?!?!? I have to wait a whole months for the results ???????? I'm sad, nervous plus stress!

Good luck! Hopefully you get some good news! Waiting is definitely the hardest part.

Do you have any other health (weight related) issues? Like high blood pressure, asthma, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, etc. The lower height definitely helps. For the longest I thought I was 5'3 1/2" but it turns out that I'm 5'2 1/2". Don't worry, it's going to work out.

Hi..dont get yourself all crazy ,it should work out . When i took my apnea test I didnt sleep a wink either... but they still were able to get results ,,, maybe i nodded out for 20 minutes or so and that was enough for them to get a reading... Good Luck and let us know how its goin ....

Same here Yazzy. I went home the next morning and went to bed and slept like a baby! lol Kinda hard sleeping in a strange bed with wires all over the place, AND it was FREEZING.

The only thing I have is high cholesterol but I guess thats not enough! The day I saw my primary doctor my blood press was super high so the doctor said he will keep an eye on that! I'm happy that I don't have that many problem but I don't want to wait until I get them and then do something about it!

Today I have my seminar but I don't know if I should go??? What do you ladies think? I went to my first support group last week!

Do you gave Kaiser? I would go the seminar. Wear heavy clothes and scrunch down when they measure your height.

You should still go! Ask all your questions!

[SandeeD 363]

Sassy, the most important thing is DO NOT GIVE UP. Just keep pushing. No one has told you no, so you keep moving forward and keep a positive attitude.

I don't have kaiser, I have blue cross/blue shield IL. I wonder if the insurance company will ask for my medical records from my primary doctor? I guess that's why I should go to the seminar and ask all that! I don't lose nothing by going but a little time and if I do have sleep apnea I would be one less thing to do from the regular requirements!

[Sassy in pink 19]

Thank you ladies I need to be patient and wait! I started walking today and drinking Water to start getting rid of my bad habits like soda, bread, and all the bad stuff!! So I can be kind of ready WHEN I get approve!

Positive thinking right! ????

Why do some Drs do a sleep study and some dont? I never had one. I made my husband stay up before I was qualified in Dec12 and he said I did snore but never stopped breathing to his knowledge. How would you know if you had it if they never test for it. And I still cant sleep comfortably on my back and Ive lost 88 lbs. I get a lower back ache when I do. I went from a DD to a C. My boobs are tiny now. Dislike lol
