Sleep Apena test

Hi! I recently had my 1st consult 1 week ago for SG and seems my BMI isn't at 40 its at 38.4 but i do have suffer from joint disease and have high cholesterol.  The doctor I saw told me I wasn't eligible due to my BMI and b/c I don't have any morbs.  I measured 5'1 when all along I thought I was 5'0 had I measured at this height I would have been a candidate  Anyway he's sending me for a sleep apena test, it's either this or I gain the 10lbs I need.  Sounds easy to gain I've been trying since last week and no luck!!!!  

Has anyone else needed to do have this test done just to become a canidate, if so were you diagnosed with sleep apena?

Sleep Apnea is one of the co-morbidities they look for. If you have it, then might qualify. My Doc said the only ones they consider are Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Sleep Apnea.

I know due to me being a few points shy on my BMI this is the next step for me but its such a slow process I saw the doctor  3 weeks ago and i'm still waiting.  I told them if by then I gained the weight I forget the test.
