Sleep study next monday

Hello!!!! I have my sleep study next monday. I was wondering if anyone had any good tips on what to bring? I am going to bring a fan, pillow and pjs. Also did anyone have a sleep study done and they didn't have it? I feel like I don't have it. I don't have any signs of it anyways. I am hoping I don't have it because I want to send it in to my insurance and if they cover I want to schedule the surgery I am sick of waiting. Thank you much! ANgel

I didn't have it Are you having it done at mercy??? I didn't bring nothing......just went in clothes I would sleep in.....like lounging short and gruby shirt or whatever.....they are way accomidating.....I told them I like it cold....they turned the air up super high....it was pitch black.....had the tv on a little and slept like a baby......seriously...the best sleep I had in a LONG time....ni kids, no hubby,dark and cold....LOVED IT!!! Then when they woke me up at 5-6ish.....i got a drink of water, went potty and headed home in the clothes I slept in! EASY! Take Care and good luck jesi

Hi Jesi That is so good to hear that you didn't have it. I remember you telling me now We should get together again in a few weeks. Thank you for the tips Angel

I didn't bring anything. I just went in my cloths to sleep in. They had a fan in the room. I didn't sleep well because of all the wires but I had to have the test done. Good luck and I hope you don't have sleep apena. I had to us the machine for 30 days before they would release me for surgery. Let us know how it turns out.

WOW you are doing really good on your weight loss! I hope mine will be good. I too will have to wear it for 30 days to get cleared for surgery. Thank you Angel

Don't bring a fan they have one, but do bring a pillow. You'll have to sleep on your back, and I had to prop my head up. Of course you have to bring jammas. I also suggest your shampoo and conditioner, they put gunk in your hair. I thought I didn't have sleep apena, but turned out I had a severe case 155/hour. Even though it does slow down the process, but be confident that with Tricare, they will get your approval completed as soon as Mercy submits your paperwork. For me I was approved in less than 1/2 day. I know you are excited, but prepare yourself mentally starting now. I am having a hard time mentally with the loss of food. Good luck

Hi Tracie, I am just so excited to start losing I want to schedule it and know where I stand. I am trying hard to prepare myself mentally I know it will be the hardest thing I do mentally for myself. I have a special needs child and I feel like I went thru a lot and I will have the mental part down. I really am preparing for the worst. I hope you are doing well. I hope tricare is quick to approve me. I don't have many co-morbids. So having sleep apnea would probably be beneficial to approving me. Thank you ANgel

I had my sleep study last Friday night and it sucked!! They told me that I did sleep, but I have no idea when. I felt like I was awake the whole night. I laid there and listened to the guy in the next room snoring his fool head off ALL NIGHT. I haven't seen the dr yet for the results, but I don't know how accurate they are going to be. I had planned to go get myself a nice, leisurely Starbucks latte the next morning, but they had so much goop in my hair (to hold the electrodes in place) that I looked like a swamp thing, so I just went straight home and back to bed and slept for 5 hours.

Hi Cindy I am sad to hear of your snoring sidekick! I hate when my hubby snores thank god he only snores once in awhile. When I go out of town with my mom or MIL they snore and it is so hard for me to sleep. Thanks for your email. I hope you get your results soon! Angel
