Ok initial appointment done, they were able to fit me in tomorrow to see the dietician and a psychologist. I've arranged appts for Sept 27th to come back. WOW! Has anyone had a sleep study done in Wpg for sleep apnea? Wondering how long the wait is or if you can do it privately?

Shawn had one done a couple years ago. They are looking for Obstructive sleep apnea? If that is all they need to know I believe you can get it private through medigas or Rana? one of those. Not sure if that is enough for them. Shawn did his through misericordia and I don't think the wait was super long. He brought the equipment home and did it that way. I think the wait is much longer in house.

I'm so excited for you! yayyyyy!!!!

So I'm leaving in the morning to head back home. Spent an extra day in Edmonton because I was given the opportunity to meet with psychology and the dietician due to a cancelation today. I will continue to do regular follow up with my dietician in Winnipeg and am scheduled to return to Edmonton for September 27th for an entire day of appointments -- dietician, psychology, psychiatry, medical doctor, case manager. Phew! The dietician told me that all my personal work in the last 3 months (journalling food, making good choices and wearing a pedometer) means that I will "move quickly" through the program. Not entirely sure what that means other than my case manager indicated that I would likely meet the surgeon the next next time I come.

I did (and will) stay at the Best Western.  I didn't even need a letter, I just showed them the print out of my appointments.  That was good enough for them and it was a fantastic rate :)  Thanks for making sure I had a heads up!
