@@Gordita81 Who's your surgeon? I'm in RI too and it definitely doesn't seem right that insurance won't cover titration. That's crazy. It's the necessary follow up to a sleep apnea diagnosis. Let me know what you find out. Good luck!

@@KristenLe, my surgeon is Dr Vithianathan (University Surgical in Providence). Medical says that I am a candidate for a home Titration study. That will put my on an APAP instead of the CPAP which is fine. I am back on the preop schedule for 9/13 unless they can squeeze me in sooner. Surgery will be within 2 weeks of that!! I am back to being happy!!

Great! Fingers crossed all goes well! I'm pre-op with same practice (but new site in EG) for 9/14 and hoping for a date before end of Sept. Maybe I'll see you in the OR! ????

Doesn't make any sense to me... Respiratory can use an auto adjusting PAP post op if needed.

Well think about it this way... I tried to have the surgery 2 years ago... Got denied. Appealed 3 times. Still denied. Now I'm more overweight than ever and on the 6 month diet before being submitted to insurance for approval. THEN once I get approved I'll have to do the pre op liver diet before I can have surgery. It'll happen on its own time

@@Marissa.Ann.C Thank you. I started this about 2 years ago as well. Got denied once. I am now just waiting for preop to be told my surgery date. As long as nothing else happens, I will be having surgery before the end of September. Good luck to you! I hope everything works out for you this time!
