Sleep study result sucks!

Jul 24, 2014

So I got a call today saying they needed to schedule my sleep study.  I said I already did one.  She said oh let me see.  I said is this follow because I need a machine?  She said oh yes it is your test came back that you have MILD sleep apnea.  Well if it is mild why do I need a CPAP??  I told surgeon I had problems with CPAP and BIPAP before why do I need to wear one now?

She said well you just need to wear it for day of surgery after that you don't need it.  I said then why waste my time and insurance money for a short time of use if it is not that bad knowing it makes me feel worse to wear one??  She said if you want the surgery you have to wear it.  sigh  She then said call your surgeon and discuss it with her to see if you can skip it since it is mild.
