The biggest problem I have with the sleep study is all of the monitors and wires they have to attach to you! If you tend roll around in bed much it can be a real pain. Hope all goes well!

I have used a CPAP for 7 years. For me the worse part of the study is having to get up to go to the bathroom several times a night with all those wires!

My sleep clinic has DOWN mattresses, not feather, not down/feather, DOWN! Hard as heck to get in and out of!! LOLOL

I had problems sleeping when I initially went in for my sleep study. My doctor prescribed me a low dose ambien just to help me relax enough to go to sleep. Maybe you can ask your doctor for something to help you sleep

I have sleep apnea, was diagnosed 7 years ago and have had a cpap machine ever since. I love it. Never slept so well as after I got my machine.

I'm hoping the WLS will eliminate my sleep apnea, but so long as I have it I am so happy to have my machine.

Don't worry about if you sleep or not, it's just a check off. Lots of docs ask for it just to make a better case to your insurance company. Since you know your insurance is going to approve it ask your doc if you have to do it for him or for the insurance company? A lot of these docs are part owners of the sleep center they are sending you to so it's money in there pocket and you may not necessarily need it.

Actually if the Physician is doing this, its a violation of the Stark Law. They can get into a lot of trouble for doing this.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
