Sleep Study Delayed Due to Weight

Yes that seems crazy... Especially since you could have sleep apnea for other reasons too. I am overweight but I was told that I also have a small throat and my tonsils are likely in the way as well. I agree that you should find another specialist.

If your insurance will allow, maybe consider a new specialist. Regardless of what weight contributes this just sounds fat phobic as hell. Even if dropping the weight helps you're still possibly lacking oxygen to your brain and can be exhausted as a result. So sorry to hear they're being this way to you.

That’s absolutely ridiculous that definitely should not matter!!! Sleep apnea can cause a lot of terrible issues! I would find a new doctor! I’m sorry 🥲🥲🥲

I am 5'7 and 230 and had it immediately. Mine was severe. Now finding out caused heart issues.
