Sleep Study: Part 2 (the nightmare continues)

Mar 31, 2011

Okay, so I've been diagnosed with a mild case of obstructive apnea when I sleep, so now the doctors want to do some kind of CPAP treatment. So, it's back to the sleep lab in Laplata for me tonight-- I'm certain this will suck like last time and I won't get any sleep, but this is the hoops they want me to jump -- I'll jump!

My heart is in good shape despite the murmur and the extra beat -- stress test yesterday went well and results were positive.  I'm happy -- 

My body isn't responding to the diet and exercising like I would like it to respond.  Instead of losing 2 pounds a week, I'm losing 3 pounds a month.  I'm not sure I want to take 2 years to lose 36 pounds and not be sure it will stay off...I really hope I get approved for surgery--I feel it may be my only option to lose 148 pounds within 2 years. 

Anyway, the only test appointment I'm waiting for now is the test “an upper GI endoscope and h. pylori test”.  My pcp has placed an order for referral twice through champus "tri-care prime" with no reply, it's been 2 months!
