Hi Newfie88: You start the shakes 3 weeks before surgery. I assume his sec. will advise
you on that when she calls with your surgery date. When I had my sleep test, I stayed in
St. Clairs all night , I think it was because I was from out of town. Instead of them hooking
me up and going home and then have to come back the next morning with the equipment.
They just kept me there. Jenn said that she was just hooked up with the equipment and
she went home and went back the next day. So, I guess it will depend on where you live
maybe. I was hooked up to about 20 different wires. they stick them to your head , face,
behind your ears, stomach, arms & legs. Be prepared to wear whatever you go in all night.
There is no getting your clothes off after.

Hi Tam,sorry you did'nt get a call.Not to disappoint you but I think there was only to be 2 clinics of 16 people for this year,Who knows maybe some will drop out and you'll get in that way.Anyways I'm sure you'll get there in the near future.Good Luck hun and keep your chin up.
