I am here to introduce myself.    My name is Jodi and I am 35 years old and am in the mid stages of my journey to WLS.  I am still awaiting my 2nd sleep study as I was told I have sleep apnea(never knew that).  At any rate any useful information would be great.

Hi Jodi and welcome to the 30's board.

I also have sleep apnea but I was diagnosed years ago with mine. I am happy to say that losing weight has helped my apnea tremendously. Your second study will probably be to fit you with a CPAP or BIPAP and teach you how to use it. They are really agrivating at first, but once you have a decent night's sleep and actually rest all night long because your sleep isn't interupted by apneas you wont want to ever sleep without the blasted thing....lol. When you say your are midway on your journey, do you mean midway on your journey to surgery or to your weightloss goals? Good luck with your next sleep study hon. You'll have to let us know how everything goes.

I am midway thru the process of getting to my surgery date.  Very much looking forward to it.  A little nervous about the 2nd test because the first one was a bit uncomfortable to sleep.  I will be glad when it is all over and I am further down the road.

Welcome to the 30's board.  Wishing you all the best on your journey towards WLS. I am just waiting for the approval by my insurance to set a surgery date. I'm hoping for a date of Dec. 13th or 17th.  Keep us posted! Best wishes.

Good Luck.  Please let me know how you make out.

Hi Jodi & welcome! Let us know how that 2nd sleep study goes for you!Not quite as comfy as your bed, but hopefully you get some rest.

I am not looking forward to it.  The 1st time I went I didn't have a C-PAP machine and I could barely sleep.  Not to mention that I work overnight so I have to sleep during the day....UGHHHH
