Nyelaah 77 Posted April 7, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deborah1960 22 Posted April 7, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
