jazma 16 Posted April 4, 2008 My insurance added Lap Band to there policy coverage I am so excited. I went to see my primary Doc today and she is scheduling a Oxygen level test to see if I need to take the sleep apnea test, Has anyone taken the Oxygen lvel test?:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerryHearted 20 Posted April 4, 2008 Is this the one where they send you home overnight with a pulse oximeter to sleep with, to measure if your oxygen levels drop too far at night? If so, then yep, I've done it. In my case it was to verify that my cpap machine level was OK. Sounds like your doc is doing it as a cheaper way to see if you even need a sleep study -- a great idea, because a sleep study sucks. Who can even sleep with all those wires stuck all over your head & body, and knowing people are watching you? Ugh. (Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I was able to be diagnosed & get my machine - it made a world of difference in my health, but the sleep study itself? Not so fond.)
