Re: Home from sleep study and discouraged

[Guest guest]

i,

Please don't get discouraged! They say its darkest before the light. I know that

it may be hard to see a positive in this but there is. You dont have sleep

apenea slep apnea isnt a good thing. I know its hard to stay positive when you

are going through this ordeal. At this moment I am going through my own issues

and I know I should come online and seek support but I hate raining on anyones

parades. Plus there is something inside me that really and truley believes that

things are going to turn out for the best. And I know that they are going to

turn out well for you too. *hugs*

Last night I had my sleep study. I guess it is good news that I don't have

sleep apnea. I was able to sleep some. The technician said I had issues

with my meds that were probably the reason for the sleep problems.

I know this is not an " official " report.

I am just discouraged. I feel so borderline or medium. Not quite fat

enough, not quite sick enough, not quite functional, not quite

disfunctional, but life is not fun and hasn't been for so long I just

can't remember.

I feel like a lot of my hope was lost with this test. It seems like I will

have to get sicker before I can get the help to get better.

sorry for whining and having a pity party. I obviously haven't slept much

as they get you up at 5:30 am and send you home. Not even one fast food

drive through was open. I would have binged on an egg mcmuffin and ???

ciniminis?

Feeling knocked down and not in any category.

I know what you mean -- I worry that I, too, am not fat enough. Oh well --

give me a few years and I will be. Of course, by then I may have diabetes

and high bloodpressure...not to mention a divorce since my horrible snoring

keeps my husband up nights.

I'm not giving up yet. i, you and I have not yet begun to fight!

Here's what I tell myself (and anyone who will listen): the insurance WILL

approve me, and I WILL have this surgery. The only question is " when. " I

have NO doubt that they will bend to my will.

Chin up, girlfriend.

Hi i

If your meds could be the cause of your problems, why would you be

discouraged about learning this? I'm confused.

I'm hopeful that you will be able to find a way to sleep well and

eventually find the fun in life. For now, a big hug for you.

HI FRANKI,

I AM NEW TO THE GROUP AND I DON'T KNOW YOUR SITUATION,

BUT FROM THE WAY IT SOUNDS I AM ASSUMING THAT YOU

NEEDED THAT SLEEP STUDY RESULT TO READ THAT YOU HAD A

DISORDER DUE TO YOUR WEIGHT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE WLS.

IF THIS IS THE CASE, PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP. THERE'S

STILL HOPE. JUST HANG IN THERE AND BE STRONG.

LOVE,

STEPHANIE
