My sleep study last night and during the

night, the nurse came in and said my oxygen level was falling below 88 % for more than 5 min and put me on oxygen....does this mean for sure I have it ??  And if I do, will losing this weight  cure it   I have my banding scheduled Jan 29..... Can it be just sheer exhaustion that causes the low oxygen ?  My alloted max in term of hourly sleep at night is 6hrs, because of kids and work, so ,  no time soon will I ever get any more than that, except on the occasional day off.  Plus I am on Morphine because of my torn discs and I am sure that can put me into a deep sleep, right ? 

Its a good indication that you will be fitted for a cpat machine. I only get 5 houurs usually, and I try to keep it on the whole night. Sometimes I wake up without it, and don't remember taking it off. Lisa

Did she put you on a c-pap or just oxygen?  The same thing happened to me and they gave me a c-pap to use to see if there was any improvement.

I don't know if it was a cpap or oxygen ?>?  It was up in  the nose.  I already had 2 there and she woke me to put a 3rd one there  and it was run by a generator??  Whatever it was,  had to answer a questionaire that askd me if I felt more rested or less rested or the same when I woke in the morning. I put down that I felt exactly the same, EXHAUSTED...??
