I was real nervous for my 1st sleep study. The tech wasn't very nice and didn't care how I felt. I didn't sleep well and the wired made me feel like I was being strangled. (I have a photo in my profile, just scroll down a little) I went on May 17th for my 2nd sleep study to try cpap. I had a wonderful teck, who was very compassionate about wire placement, my comfort and made sure I understood why I was there. She even went over the results from my 1st study that the respiratory therapist didn't explain(she's a major nasty person...B****). Anyway, she pulled all of the wires back and attached them all together like a pony tail. They moved with me and not a single one came loose all night. Just try to get as comfortable as you can. If you can tolerate it, I recommend leaving the tv on low volume all night. My 1st study I set the timer, and it went off before I was asleep. I woke up a few times to voices of the staff in another room. WHEN YOU GET HOME>>>>>when you wash your hair, run some conditioner through first....it'll loosen that tacky glue and make it easier to get out.

And I do have it...............barely. They consider you to have sleep apnea if you have more than 5 apnea episodes an hour, I had 5.4 lol. Anyway, I got my cpap machine today so we'll see how it goes. Good news is that this should get me qualified for gastric bypass! I'm sending in my application for WLS today

I have trouble finding the right size. I just hope that when I lose weight I won't need to worry about it. I get so sick of the damn thing!

No one has ever told me I had to sleep specifically on my back. I sleep all over.

It sounds like apnea to me. Best of luck at your appointment.
