sleep apnea/overweight

Hey all! Well i've been reading these fourms for probably over a year awaiting the right time to start ff trucking. My dad and grandfather were both truckers and I have always wanted to follow suit. Looking to go to prime december 4th! something I read on here had be a bit concerned though in on the fourms guy talked about if you were overweight or snored you had to pay a thousand or so dollars for some machine and do a bunch of BS. Well I'm 5'8 230lbs although I feel im not out of shape just last month I was playing ice hockey and running miles although I do have a beer gut and a chubby face I know I can touch my toes and duck walk and all that fun DoT stuff without breaking a sweat, never had any medical issues period and im not even sure if I snore however my wife informs me that sometimes i do... hmmph... Is this something I need to be super worried about I'm quitting a job to go down to school and don't want to get down there adn them be like gtfo of here fatty. I don't have the best job now but it is a job and i don't want to throw it away for nothing. any info is appreciated so like I said, im overweight but athletic never any medical issues or sleep problems just wanting to drive a truck and make a living.. Thanks!!

 

#### i think im around 17 excatly and im expected to pay for this sleep study? i mean i don't mind a bunch of guys standing over me while i sleep i guess as long as they remain fully clothed... but what does all this entail.

 

i better watch myself this thanksgiving then lol but Im sure i can dro at least 5-10 lbs before the 4th guess i should get to running huh lol.

 

well right now and for last 4 or 5 years ive been a server so walking is my profession lol. but eating is another one and I love fried food but I have the willpower to lose the lbs but I only have till the 4th and 2 of those days will be on a bus so I emean realistically I can drop maybe 10lbs at most so I don't know what that will do for my neck but hey guess its worth a shot.. Im not terrified of a sleep test because I believe I don't have any medical issues but I just cant pocket it.
