OK I went to my sleep Study Consult today & he thinks I have Sleep Apnea. I go next Wednesday night for the testing.. My question is if they say I do have it will Postpone my surgery?

Your surgeon will probably not want to set a date until after you have the sleep study done. If you have sleep apnea and a BPAP or CPAP, they'll actually use it on when you're in surgery.

Hi kid,

since sleep apnea is comorbdity you need to know before you go to insurance if you have it. It my case it made my case for surgery and even stronger one.

As thebanded stated, I am taking my machine with me and it is being used during my surgery.

I have to say when I got the bipap machine in in Feb I hated it - now it has made such a difference in the quality of my sleep(and less grumpiness:rolleyes:) its amazing.
