pre-op testing, sleep study taking forever

I am finally to the point of getting my pre-op testing. I will have the upper GI, bloodwork and treadmill test done within the week. However, they can't get the sleep study schedualed until the end of APRIL! Thankfully because this is pre-surgery testing, they bumped me to the top of the wait list. I was assured that they have lots of cancelations. Is this common? two months seems crazy long.

I hope this happens quickly as I might change jobs in June.

Thanks for letting me complain!

Last week I called to get an appoint,went with a new Internist and was told the first available was June ....., so April doesn't sound too bad.

make sure you are on their 'cancellation call' list ... And be prepared for a short notice appointment.

Do you have Sleep Apnea?  They sent me home with a device that I used for one night.  They wanted to ensure I didn't have Apnea.  The data came in and I never did a formal sleep study.

Mine took about 6 1/2 months due to insurance requirements.

My sleep center was the bane of my frustrations- took several months to get appointment, then I had to come back again to be fitted with a mask, then you have to be compliant 4-6 weeks before they will agree to surgery. etc
