Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Hi all. I've been lurking, mostly, and taking advantage of all the knowledge available through this list. I've also been going through the hoops of getting a referral from Kaiser. I just spoke with their sleep apnea expert and was told that he might need two months to get me ready for surgery. I do have a high BMI (68) and I can't get a copy of the original sleep study done in 1996. but I'm getting so tired of delays. Anyhow, I'm a little confused as to what sleep apnea has to do with surgical complications. My breathing, I suspect, will be monitored by the anesthesiologist and I'll have the CPAP on post op. Can you help? I think I'm probably being fairly dense? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
