Hello again,

So I will have my sleep study and hopefully all labwork completed for my orientation date, will this speed up the process at all? How many of you had your list of tests complete for orientation and when was your next appointment dates?

Thanks!!

I had my lab work done, but it didn't speed up the process at all. By the time they needed lab results, the ones that I had done were 'expired' and they wanted a new draw to get current levels.

I can't speak to the sleep study though; from what I hear it does help to have that sorted out beforehand. That may work in your favour.
