CPAP Machine
At St. Joe's Hamilton- you learn about it in Nutrition for life class- they want you to bring yours in and also record model number and label it etc. - so it canmeet you in your room after surgery
There are risks and costs to a program; but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. -JFK

Yep bring it in. They added a label to mine (onto the suitcase strap) and it travelled with me to the operating room. They didn`t use it there, but followed me to the recovery room. Good thing is that I had put lip balm in the pocket of the CPAP suitcase and got the nurse to bring me the CPAP bag when I woke up in recovery....had the lip balm right away!

My sleep specialist just faxed a request to the place where I bought my cpap and they would send me an oxymetry machine to use for one night then they would review the data. They can tell by that if the pressure needs to come down. My sleep doc had me repeat it with every 50 lbs that I lost. You can only do so many sleep tests covered by OHIP so this way you can still lower your pressure as time goes on and not have to spend the night redoing the full sleep study.
