Topic: RE: Getting used to CPAP Mask
 I wish I could give you advice but like I've told my doctor, IF you duct taped and stapled that mask to my face, I would still wake up with it on my bedroom floor!  I take it off in the middle of the night and I have no knowledge of doing so!  I gave up.

Perhaps get a copy of anesthesiologist's report from the surgery?

hmmm, Jesse, thanks for your comment.  I am unsure of exactly what happened, as my bariatric surgeon is being very vague.  I believe that he doesn't want to involve my sleep study MD.  It upsets me that MUM is the word !!
Thx for the comment tho  :)

It doesn't make any sense at all. You had an endotracheal tube so can't get obstructive sleep apnea.  If you were really deeply anesthetized, or over ventilated, you could lose your respiratory drive, but it's likely due to the drugs you were given to anesthetize you.

Topic: RE: Pulmonary Clearance & Sleep Apnea
On this same subject. After a 6 month weight loss program, which insurance required, they have come back requesting several medical tests needed including a pulmonary clearance. All the other tests I have done. So I see pulmonolgists office, have a PFT and a 6 minute walk test, then the nurse practitioner says I need a sleep study for the clearance. I am really upset because I thought once those two tests were done, I would get the clearance. So I ask if I can have the sleep study done ASAP, because I have already met my deductible and out of pocket for the year, plus I was hoping to get a surgery date around end of January. They said no, soonest appt is January 17. UGGHHH!  How many more hoops do I need to jump thru here? This is so frustrating. I am ready. I have been on Step 1 of pre-op diet for over 3 weeks and have lost 15#.  Why is this sleep study so important. I do not have a known sleep apnea...they said I have all the risks of having one.

During my recent roun-y surgery I stoppd breathing 3x.  I had a sleep study a few months ago and the MD said it was negative.  Now my bariatric surgeon, says I do have sleep apnea and that is why I stopped breathing.  I ended up in the hospital for 10 days.  What do you people think about this?
