I would say more than likely, because that was my experiance. Of course, I was pretty sure I had sleep apnea before I took the sleep study. You will get your results from the plumonologist /Doctor (?) soon to either confirm the diagnoses or not. The question is, if you had the mask on half the night, did you sleep better or feel better in the morning? I actually left my sleep study feeling better rested than I had in years!.

I am interested in having surgery and Dr. Ku suggested I have lap-band or Vertical sleeve. Anybody have this and regret doing either of these? Please let me know. Thanks

The difference in cpap and bipap is cpap only helps with your oxygenation (O2 oxygen level) and bipap helps boyh oxygenation and ventilation (oxygen and CO2 carbon dioxide levels). If you have trouble with both then you should be placed on a bipap. An ABG (blood gas) can be done to determine if you have a problem with O2 and CO2 levels.

Hi Nina, I'm sorry I don't have any helpful ideas but it doesn't look like there is much action on this forum, you might want to go over to the main one and post. Good Luck!
