That's exciting, Corky! Do let us know how it goes. I'm back from my trip to Sydney yesterday for a complete medical, about twelve pages of questions and an overnight sleep study. Should hear by next Tuesday if I progress on to the endoscopy stage.

Hi Corky, you've had a few nights since you last posted. How has it been going?

Luckily, the animal rights people have come up with computerized virtual dissection programs.
More of my kind can go free. Not so for the rodents--they're still considered vermin.

Yeah, well there was that Bubonic Plague thing.
I mean, killing off 100 million people certainly gives one "street cred".

Corky,
What is your AHI now - obstructives and centrals and hypos?
What were those numbers on your pre-op diagnostic (no-cpap) sleep study before surgery?
What were those numbers when you were on continuous cpap?
Nate
by corky on Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:50 pm
I don't have those numbers. Sorry
by NateS on Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:52 pm
Don't you have your sleep lab reports for any of those time periods?
How did your surgeon know these numbers if there were no lab reports?
I can't imagine them performing surgery on you without knowing your prior history, nor can I imagine you not wanting to know whatever your doctor knows.

They know them but I was not given a report of my last study. I meet with the dr's tomorrow morning. I will ask for it.
I take Corky at his word. I believe that he did ask for all these reports on the morning of March 14, 2012, and that now, over two months later, he still has not received those reports from his doctors.
If true, I believe that this is a pretty appalling violation of the Patient's Bill of Rights under state and federal law.
