Be glad! I have zero symptoms and they made me do a home study with sh!tty equipment, and are telling me I have it based on the least scientific process I've ever seen. I have a rant posted here somewhere. Lol

I did this home sleep study to find not too Scientific when you only put a little monitor on your finger lol ... they say severe sleep apnea and I've been given a CPAP machine... mind you I was tested 2012 with mild apnea and I refuse to get a machine back then same test .. lol
I have Kaiser and this is been my record since then 2012 .. they say if I go for an overnight test will probably come out more accurate and I probably would still come up with severe apnea test positive at all .. that is so crazy .. will
they require you to be retested to be approved for surgery??
BTW ..I pretty much been around 40 BMI with both tests ..

I have had to have a sleep study because my Iron is extremely low and I was taking the most iron tablets you take they say if you have this you could have stomach cancer so an endoscopy and a colonoscopy lucky no cancer sent me for sleep study.I stop breathing 19 x an hour which is mild but cos I am having surgery I have to use a breathing machine at night and I hate having to use it but they said only until after operation.Then if I don't want to use which I can't wait to give it back.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
