I believe I have sleep apnea and really want to schedule a sleep study to find out for sure. My only problem is I don't have any insurance right now, and the insurance that I'm going to be on in about 3 months has a $2500 deductible. I want to get the sleep study done asap. Does anyone know about what I would be spending if I got the sleep test and the CPAP machine without insurance?

Hi, I've also heard from a fellow SA person that putting the hose under the blanket with you helps control the condensation.

I'm in Canada too Spring__ and perhaps if we contacted them or had the place where we get our machines contact them it may encourage them to start selling them to Canadian suppliers.

I had a split study which is where you don't have to go back they do it all in one night and that canula up my nose drove me bonkers so I feel ya.

Good luck with your treatment,

Any significant weight loss (or gain) can lead to a need for a pressure adjustment.  Congrats on getting to the losing side of surgery and wow, 40 pounds since your sleep study.  Time to call your PCP or supplier of your CPAP supplies and ask for a trial peroid on a self adjusting CPAP to see what your current pressure need is.  My guess is you are no longer needing the pressure of 16.  Feels great to be a loser doesn't it?
