Hello everyone!:clap2:

So much has happened the past couple of weeks. I saw the Nutritionist and the Mental Health Counselor on the 4th. Both of those appointments went well. On Wednesday night, I had my sleep Study done. That was interesting. I felt like a marionette puppet with all those wires attached to me. Come to find out according to the nurse, I have sleep apnea. And she thought it was bad enough that she thinks I'll need a CPAP machine. Oh JOY!!!!!:phanvan But I guess at least then I'll sleep better.:notagree I have to call for a follow up appointment for that.

All I have left is:

1-ultrasound of the abdomen (to check gallbladder)

2-EKG

3-ECO

4-a physical from my regular doctor with a letter of medical necessity

5-and blood work

I'll have 1-4 done on the 25th of this month. The blood work I'm going to try to get done that next morning.

Oh, and my surgeon's office called today to see how I was doing with scheduling all my appointments that I needed for insurance approval. I was really impressed with that.

Well, I'll keep ya'll posted on how everything else goes. :clap2:

The good news is, for many of us, we get to kiss our CPAPs goodbye once the weight starts coming off!

It didn't even take long for me...as it turns out, the first place you tend to lose weight is in your neck/chin, and that is often the pressure that causes the sleep apnea. I was off my machine in 2 - 3 weeks!
