Sleep Study Scheduled

Much to my disappointment, I couldn't get a sleep apnea study scheduled until August 5th. They did promise to call me if there was a cancellation, and that happens often, he said. I have to remember that the surgery isn't going to fix my life, and that everything is going to work out no matter what. I have such a hard time waiting for things. Patti in Tucson

Patti, I'm surprised this lab is taking longer than anticipated. I don't know what insurance you have, but perhaps your PCP can send you somewhere else for your study. I had my study w/in 2 weeks of my doctor's referral. It was here in Mesa and a wonderful place to stay the night! I went home w/ my CPAP the next morning and now I don't know what I ever did without it! Good Luck and be patient, good things come to those who wait!

Ah, but Diane! You live in Mesa! In Tucson, CIGNA has ONE authorized sleep study facility -- at UMC. And they have two docs who don't work full time. I think it's wild that CIGNA only has one authorized GBS surgeon in all of Arizona. That's outrageous to force people to drive two hours one way! Ack! I shouldn't get started so early in the morning, huh? Patti in Tucson
