sleep study

[jdillon 355]

So my first appointment for my sleep study there was some kind of mix up on their part and no one showed up. The lady apologized and said I have lots of time to get it done and maybe try 4 months into my 6 months in. I hear a lot of people get delayed because of this sleep study and think I should get it done sooner. I don't want to add additional wait time to these 6 months if I can help it. Any thoughts?

I would try to reschedule it at the next (and soonest) available date. The fact that when i went to my second appointment that i already had my sleepnstudy, endoscopy, proof of six months structured weight loss program, psych evaluation etc already completed moved me along at lightening fast speed. I began my journey Oct. 31. I was sleeved on Dec. 23.

Everyone is different, but personally i wanted to be sleeved as soon os possible because my mind was finally in the right place and had i have waited i might have gotten cold feet or allowed the process to drag on and on.

I agree. My insurance like everyone it seems requires 6 months for approval. Diet and requirements etc. I can't wait. So excited. I'm sure I'll be nervous but I am jumping in feet first. I so want this. Thank you for your advice

Out out all the hurdles to jump this was the most problematic. I would estimate 3 wk push back. From sleep study, my doctor getting the results, my dr diagnosing me with sleep apnea, scheduling cpap sleep test, going to test, dr getting results, referral to local dme to get cpap, getting a cpap.

I recommend starting this process at 3 months/4 month max. Good luck, I'm scheduled 3/14.

The sleep study put a stall on things for me as well. I called every day to check for any cancellations. Ended up paying off! If getting in is not an issue, I would just get it over with. For me personally I had to take equipment home and go back the next day to go over results.
