Well my big day is coming up on Wed and I knew I would have to bring my machine. Did anyone wake up with your machine on after surgery? Just curious to know.
yes they tried to put it on in recovery ,,then told me i need another sleep study because it wasnt set strong enough for me ,,they switched me to oxygen ..i was in recovery for 7 hours so just a lil heads up they keep us apnea patients there longer
Yes she told me I could be there overnight if they are concerned about my breathing.

I woke up with oxygen and then the Respiratory Tech set the oxygen up through my CPAP the next day. I was in a ward so I wore my CPAP a lot so I wouldn't snore in the daytime and bug the other people. I could just drift off whenever.

Like Laurie I woke up with oxygen and the resp tech came the next day, though I had set up my own by then as I was napping frequently and they had removed my oxygen.
