Sleep Apnea and surgery

Hiya Everyone. I am sorry to barge again. I was just curious if there is any additional testing for patients that have sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with it a year ago but could not sleep for no love nor money with that leaf blower strapped to my face. So I turned it back in to SISA. I was just thinking on my way home from work today the what if's like maybe having to have another sleep study or such like if it couldnt stick out the CPAP machine will they still think I am a candidate. My mind is racing thinking I have been working on this approval for about a year and finally got one and now what if this causes another setback ............thanks for any advice or info in advance. Sorry I have lurked a bit here and think you guys are great.

I have sleep apnea and couldn't tolerate the CPAP either. I wasn't using anything to treat it and it didn't cause any trouble with getting approval for my surgery. In fact...it made my dr.'s recommend it more strongly because of the stress put on the heart.

There are some alternatives to CPAP and surgery (I've had both) such as the use of a dental device. More info can be found here: http://www.sleep-apnea.biz/
