Bye bye November surgery date...

Unless a miracle happens...

My ex caseworker didn't tell me anything, could've had my sleep testing/study done. Nope. He constantly had an attitude, and would literally take DAYS to respond... Now I have to wait until the 19th to have it done, since that is the only day they have available for me.

-The positive: I get to bring it home and just sleep with it for two nights here.

-The negative: I CANNOT DO IT UNTIL THE 19th!!! Which pushes everything back... I was supposed to be submitting Thursday. Can't until I have taken the test and have used treatment if needed.

Ugh. I'm bummed. Knew this was moving a little to smoothly.

I guess if I do have sleep apnea, that'll be another point in my favor for this surgery... (is that even a positive?)

I do have a question/questions:

- for those of you who did the sleep study at home how was it? Were you able to sleep comfortably?

- for those of you who have had sleep apnea and needed to do some sort of treatment, how long it take for them to give clearance for surgery?

I'm being a whinny baby, I apologize.

You aren't being whiny. I completely understand your frustration. I did my test at home - only 1 night. It was very easy but I suppose it depends on the equipment used. Mine just strapped on my head - none of those crazy electrodes like they do in the actual sleep lab. Turned out I did not have sleep apnea so I am not sure I can answer your other question. Do they just not have the equipment available until the 19th? Could you call your insurance and see if they could refer you to someone else for the sleep test? Mine was arranged through my insurance, Cigna. They told me who to contact and that company merely shipped the equipment to me and I shipped it back the day after I used it.

Good luck! Hang in there!

@@Daisee68 that's what I was told at least. I'm just worried... it's literally been a year of me trying for this surgery. And now that I'm so close it's getting pushed back.

Thank you for your response! I'm hoping it works out to my advantage and goes smoothly!
