Up next... CPAP! Almost surgery time

[Nyelaah 77]

Hi all!

Just saw the sleep doctor and even though I have very very mild sleep apnea (7.2 avg is 0-5) I have to use the machine until surgery. I dreaded using the machine for the study and am sure will dread it now. I have 3 vacations and will have to lug the machine with me :-( I am going to look like a monster in the Caribbean lol

On the upside, the doc said after a month of using it (atleast 5 hrs a night, 7 days) he will give me clearance for surgery. Soooo I am definitely on my way there and all in perfect timing. Looks like I will be able to get a surgery date of July which is my goal if all goes well with my insurance clearance. I don't anticipate any issues since I have diabetes, blood pressure, BMI 40+, and sleep apenea (damn, I'm like a walking I don't know what lol)

Ok ya'll ONE more month until all my paperwork goes through for insurance clearance!!!

Excited!

I had to use a CPAP for the last 5 years. I traveled extensively and carried it everywhere. I had a resumed and it comes in two parts, very easy to use and travel with. I also carried a thermos with distilled Water that fit well inside the travel case. It will b come second nature and I'm 4 was post sleeve and haven't had to use it once since the surgery. Good luck
