Unbelieveable what is holding me up!!!

I keep getting the Bariatric nurse telling me that they need proof of me having this Bipap machine.  I have had my doctor fax the sleep study and the followup to check the adjustments of my Bipap machine to them, their response today was, 'we have both the faxes, but we need the receipt telling us that you purchased or actually have this machine!! I think I'm leasing this thing to own through Apria and don't know what else to do, no wonder my BS is through the F$@king roof! Letting off steam, Bob M.

Bob, just have Apria fax them the rental agreement, or even better, the slip you signed when they delivered it, so they know that it made it to your house.

Send them a picture of you using it in bed wearing only a pair of boxers. That ought to be proof enough.

Yes, I did think about that but I decided that since they hold my date in their hands I better not.

Why boxers?  How about with just a tube sock covering the important stuff? In all seriousness, Apria should have some sort of rental agreement, invoice, or reciept on hand that they can either send a copy to you, or to them.  (Probably to you due to HIPAA regulations) This should be a no-brainer to take care of.  Right now, I'm more concerned about your blood glucose levels. They want to make sure you have the bipap to make sure you're using it at home.  If you have sleep apnea and don't use it, you can easily have a stroke and kick off at night, not to mention the lack of oxygen will severely hinder your healling after the surgery. But - like was stated - take a picture of you, at home, nekkid, with a tubesock over Mr. Johnson, and send that to them.
