I forgot to share!!!
Before surgery I had sleep apnea, and within a week of the surgery I had to give up my c pap. It was so uncomfortable to sleep with. So I went to my dr and he said to wait it out a few months and he would do another sleep study. Well I finally got my results on tuesday. And I am cured.
Before I woke up on average 60 times an hour ( this only counts the time you are awake for more than 10 seconds I think they said) and as of now, on average 1.5 times an hour. Holy cow!!!
then he went on to tell me how proud of me I am , how I took charge of my health and how he had heard many say they are going to do it but never do. He has been such a great support and every appointment he will spend at least 10 minutes praising me for my hard work and how well I am doing.
I am going to miss him, and told him that I hoped never to see him again, he said he hoped so too but that he was always there for me if I needed him.
I cannot tell you what a great dr he was, before surgery he never made me feel bad about my weight, he just tried to help me deal with my sleep apnea.
So if anyone needs a sleep clinic I would recomend him for sure, and if anyone wants the informatin feel free to message me:)

Congrats. That's one of the things I'm very much looking forward to...no more CPAP. What are you going to do with your machine?
I know one of the respirologists at the Civic takes them and distributes them to patients who need machines but have no benefits or means to pay for them. Just a thought. I'm looking forward to donating mine.
