Moderate Sleep Apnea

Cigna again denied my overnight sleep study. They said they will approve an Apap machine if my doctor request it. Does anyone know how long that treatment last? Thanks in advance.

It is basically a variation of a cpap.
You will wear it for life unless you lose enough weight that you no longer have sleep apnea.

I can't see me wearing that thing for life. I'm just wondering how long I have to wear it before I can proceed with surgery.

Ask your doctor. sleep apnea isn't something you treat and then it gets better. It's something you live with.
