I go to get fitted up for a sleep study at the beginning of next month, I have a rough idea how it works since my dad did one, that turned out to tell him he had sleep apnoea and now he is using a CPAP machine.

A few questions...

1) I only can sleep on my front! Am I going to be able to do this with this equipment attached to me!

2) If I don't sleep on my front I never get to sleep!

3) I suffer from insomnia, but currently take a large dose 300mg of Quetiapine at night to send me to sleep. Will this screw up the test?

4) If I find out I have sleep apnoea, will that jeopardise surgery?

I did my sleep study this past July just overnight and I was so aware of wearing it I found it really hard to fall asleep as I was worrying about the study going right! I did in the end fall asleep only because I was just soo damn tired! when the results came back it turns out I "wake up" around 12 in the night which according to the sleep study team was ok at the low end of the scale .I understand that if it was more it might need checking out a little more just to make sure your going to be safe for when the operation does come around

i did both types of sleep study, i really struggled with the full rig up as the nasal prongs left my nose sore, spent half the night awake lol

I did the Overnight Oximetry test 2 weeks ago and the results show a desaturation of 9 per hour which implies very mild obstructive sleep apnoea. No intervention is necessary and weightloss surgery will be the most appropriate way of managing this...

The sleep doc virtually recommended surgery for me as the test was requested by the bariatric team
