Sleep Apnea Question

Hiya Everyone.  I am sorry to barge again.  I was just curious if there is any additional testing for patients that have sleep apnea.   I was diagnosed with it a year ago but could not sleep for no love nor money with that leaf blower strapped to my face.   So I turned it back in to SISA.  I was just thinking on my way home from work today the what if's like maybe having to have another sleep study or such like if it couldnt stick out the CPAP machine will they still think I am a candidate.  My mind is racing thinking I have been working on this approval for about a year and finally got one and now what if this causes another setback ............thanks for any advice or info in advance.  Sorry I have lurked a bit here and think you guys are great.

I have sleep apnea and my Dr. says I have to bring my C-PAP machine with me when I have the surgery.  I don't know what your surgeon will require.  Good Luck!   Diane

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and also had the same frustration with that dreaded cpap machine.  I had to turn my in because my employer switched insurance companies.  When I turned it in, I did not get another one because I could not keep up with all the co-pays that were associated with each piece of the equipment.  I knew I would have surgery and that my sleep apnea would be cured as soon as the weight came off.  My doctor did not require that I have the machine with me when I had my surgery.  (and even if he had, I would have just said that I forgot it).  Sometimes you just have to lie to get through the process.  I doubt that they will hold up this life saving surgery over a dam machine that doesn't really help anyways (at least not for me it didn't, all it did was keep me up all night long!!).
