lol onmywaytobeingfound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Braver than I am for sure!!! I had a lot more wires on me than you have. How'd you sleep that night?

[onmywaytobeingfound 163]

:-) sleep? What sleep? ! I slept maybe 3 hours on and off. I woke up at 3:45 and couldn't go back to sleep. I was miserable. You would think that this day and age there'd be a better way than all that. I came back no sleep apnea!

My dos was 12/30/14. Spent 2 nights in hospital. By the time I came home I wasn't snoring any more while on my back!

How'd you do on your study?

They said I had 31 episodes=severe sleep apnea

So I have an appointment the 19th to get my machine.....

I thought I didn't have sleep apnea because they never woke me to put me on the cpap machine...said my episodes didn't start until near the end of the study (they wanted us out a little after 6 a.m. Which sounds weird to me because why would I have them near the end of 8 hours and not any other times???

Sorry you have it, but at least they can help you. Maybe you'll even sleep better after you get your machine :-)

I know their times are crazy at the sleep studies! I think some of that was on my mind also. Knowing a person could walk into my room while I'm asleep, and stranger at that. It freaks me out bad enough if I wake up to one of my kids by my bed!! I guess one too many scary movies.

I got the test results from my sleep study yesterday, and I'm shocked it came back negative for sleep apnea. I snore so loudly that my husband can't get to sleep unless he goes to bed half and hour before me.

What a shock and a real set-back to my getting approved with a BMI of 37. My insurance coordinator suggested I make an appointment with one of the doctor's at the sleep center to get a consult and see if we should do the test a second time. Beyond approval for the sleeve, I also just want to be sleeping better! I am tired all of the time and wake up with wicked headaches.

You should ask them what your sleep efficiency was... If for some reason you didn't have a lot of time in REM then you might not have had enough apneic events on the test. Did the sleep center have you come back to explain the test results?
