Sleep study.

I got a date for my sleep study and I am bummed out. I cannot have it until July 29!!!!!!! I was hoping this would be over by then. I am going to have to slow down on the last suppers.

Call and get on a cancellation list with the sleep clinic. I know someone that got in within a week by doing this!

That's a great idea! You could be to the front of the list in no time!

I called the doctor's office. They are requesting I be give the first cancellation. Hope that works. Thanks for the idea, Kim! Jacquie

As you go along the process you will see that it does not go as quickly as you think, I was disappointed to see how slow the wheels turned. It took 3 more months after insurance approval to finish tests to just get a date!. I had to have so many consultations and tests that others did not have to have like mammogram and GYN (family history of breast and other cancers), problems found but thank goodness no cancer, so had to have outpt surgery to take care of those, then had to have colonoscopy because my grandfather had colon cancer and yup, found a small polyp they removed which if not found could have turned into cancer. I have a cousin right now, slowly dying from colon cancer and he isnt much older than me. It just all depends on what your surgeon wants you to go through. My process took 5 months, my co workers took 3 but she used a different surgeon too. This time right now is the hardest time of the process, once you just through all their hoops it seems like everything else happens overnight. Love, Sandy

I got better results by calling the sleep clinic directly. Then it didn't take so long. As a matter of fact, they called me one evening around 6pm asking me if I wanted to come in at 8:30pm. I think you would get in quicker if you could use the sleep clinic here. I may have already asked you about that though....you know how my mind works though...or don't work. I might've asked you and then forgot. But hang in there. When I started my journey, I assumed I could have my surgery in February. And here it is June and I am still wasting time.....waiting. It WILL be worth it...but damn, it is a long, difficult struggle. But at least, we know THIS will work. All the other stuff we've done...all that starving and losing...only to gain it back plus some. But once we have this surgery, we KNOW it will work. Copy and paste this so you can email it back to me when I get overwhelmed with the delays... At least you're not alone in this. We all know what you're going through. Love you, Joni
