my first appt with Dr Sampath
The sleep test is standard for all weight loss surgery patients. They have to rule-out sleep apnea. Dr. Sampath actually told me that he would not operate on anyone with sleep apnea unless they had been on cpap for at least a month before surgery. He also doesn't care how mild or severe it is, you have to be treated if there are any signs of it at all. The test for the sleep apnea was pretty easy, first one I did I just wore a monitor on my finger all night and then took the monitor back to the store in the morning. The one that I just recently did had a band around my chest, a monitor on my finger and some things in my nose (just like the nasal oxygen tube). Pretty easy and painless.
