So, as one of the prerequist to getting my lapband surgery I have to have a sleep study. I met with the doctor yeasterday. One good thing, is that this doctor actually understands and treats Restless Leg Syndrome. So, I am hoping that he can help me to have a normal life when it comes to the pain in my legs that haunts me in the evenings and before I go to sleep.
He wants to me to do the sleep study, because it is possible that I have sleep apnea. I sure hope I don't.... because this will delay when I can get my surgery done. I go in for the sleep study on the 18, then it takes a week for the results. Then I would have to go in for another sleep study, then I would have to use the C-PAP machine for several weeks before I could have the surgery. Only to loose weight and not have to have the C-PAP machine. Seems like a vicious circle to me. Oh well. We will see.
I see the nutritionist tomorrow and the psychologist on March 31. Hopefully she doesn't say I'm crazy and can't have the surgery. :)
I'm praying that the sleep study is negative, so that I don't have to take this detour in my journey.
