Sleep study results

Friends, Well I received the results of my sleep study that I did earlier this week. Well I am a failure... They said I have severe sleep apnea, and need a CPAP machine. They mentioned I had something like 350 "episodes" in 6 hours of sleeping, and my longest period of not breathing was like 44 seconds. Which resulted in a desaturation into the mid 80's. Wow.... This just looks like another things I can use in my favor to get a approved for WLS. Thanks BT

I know it sounds terrible to say Congratulations but everything that's wrong can only help you. So, CONGRATULATIONS! Best Wishes! Stacey B

That's major. Get a machine asap. kp

KP, I have already called the medical supply store about getting the ball rolling, before I even go back for the second sleep over... Thanks buddy, I am still searching for the application to join the Boys Club... The club is gaining strength, and has lots of people to abuse... BT

You are already a member or the Manly Men of WLS if that's what you mean. It's Jay's turn for abuse this month. kp

I always say use what ya got!!!!!!!! It works for me!!! Haha though I'd like to have alot less.........Heeheehee jenny b wise

Are you referring to the CPAP machine??? Oh boy.....

Hey Curt with you being a medic i'm sure you know the dangers of sleep apnea. After your next study to find the strength you need, make sure to get your cpap a.s.a.p. Does your insurance cover it? Make sure to get fitted for the most comfortable mask, that's important. It's hard to get used to it at first, but just do it, you have no choice. You're lucky to be diagnosed now. Make sure your anesthesiologist knows as soon as you meet with him too. This makes it easier for approval, so hopefully it will be soon. Hey when you gonna let us know what BT means? We may just have to start guessing ya know. Hugs Linda
