I have severe sleep apnea and if you do also, you will definitely have a

better chance of getting insurance approval for weight loss surgery. For

your sake though, I hope you do not.

Please research all the weight loss surgery possibilities and also, if you do

have sleep apnea, make sure you get an oxygen machine right away. It will

make you feel a lot better. If you have any questions on sleep apnea, let me

know, I'll be glad to answer them. Kaufmann

Hi Diane,

I have sleep apnea and if you have it and start to use a c-pap machine you

will feel a lot better. From what I understand after this surgery and weight

loss it almost always cures sleep apnea and believe me I will worship the day

I can shed the sleep mask and machine at night, but until then it does help.

I had a sleep study done and it showed I have moderate to severe apnea

attacks when I sleep. I was so tired all the time and was not sleeping well

at night waking several times a night soak and wet with sweat, so much so I

would have to sometimes even change the sheets at night. Since using the cpap

machine I have not had those kinds of episodes. And yes it may help get the

approval from your insurance if it is proven you have sleep apnea.

Good Luck

Hi Diane, I am Betty Neal from Browns Summit, North Carolina.

Yes I have had the sleep test for sleep apna. I have had it twice.

The first time it was to see why I did sleep but about an hour at a

time, sometimes not that long; then I was awaken. During the day

I would fall asleep any where, even when I was talking to someone.

I thought my kids, friends, and family was telling me a story when

they said I was doing this. Until my daughter took a picture of me

talking to them and folding up cloths. this shocked me when I saw

that picture and pictures do not lie. So the doctor had me to do

this sleep test in the hospital one night. The result was that I was

awaken 53 times during the night, and I never dreamed; So the doctor

said I never whent into a sound sleep and when I was snoring I stopped

breathing many times, This is why I felt so tired and sleepy during the

day. Any way the second test was with a " C-PAP " on, and I did sleep

a little better, and had several dreams that night. This time I was awaken

22 times which was a lot better. The C-PAP machine forces air in side

your mouth throught your nose, which helps you too breath better during

sleeping. The air is adjusted to each persons need. I have been using

on now since the last of August, 2000. I still haven't gotten completly use

to it. But I really works.

Diane I am not on the internet very much, but I too am still trying to

qualify

for Dr. Rutledge mini-gastric bypass surgery. I really need it badly. Plus

this surgery should help this sleep apna.

I hope I have helped you a little with the sleep test.

I just had one, it was pretty freaky but I did manage to sleep even with a

million wires attached to my head. They are attached to a small device so you

are able to go to the bathroom if needed. I am not sure how my results turned

out as I have to see my doctor to get the report. They didn't put the c-pap on

me so I guess I didn't have apnea. I just snore.

love,

M
