Sleep Study Pre-op Question

That's not insane -- that's smart.

I am much the same way. I had never known that I could pull my actual surgery notes and videos, however. I keep track of everything.

It will serve you well after WLS -- because you are your own best advocate to keep track of your labs/vitamin levels, etc -- no one cares about you and your well-being more than you.

For sure! One plus side affect to having dealt with infertility is learning that I have to be on top of everything and not just trust what the doctors tell me. Most doctors seem to appreciate my follow through at this point, and if they don't, I know they aren't right for me.

I am definitely hoping that this will help with having success post surgery. It might make me annoying to some doctors, but my health is my responsibility, and I am determined to not fall prey to my family history!

It will depend on your surgeon's policies. I know that I had to have the sleep study and had to bring my cpap to the hospital the day of surgery. But I have a friend who had surgery through the Barix clinic and they didn't require a sleep study prior to surgery at all. He did stop breathing on the operating table and was rushed from their surgery center to a larger hospital where they had him in ICU in a medically induced coma for a day or two until they could get him stabilized. I guess he woke up combative as well, so they had to make sure he wasn't going to tear out the breathing tubes.

So the doctors office replied and said all I will need is a treatment plan in place for him to clear me. So here is to getting my appointment moved up! FX!
