Switching to a full face mask did the trick for me. Resmed Mirage Quattro. The Cadillac of masks. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Can sleep in every possible position in bed. Love it. In my opinion the finest mask out there. If you can't tolerate a nasal mask, this might be your answer. Was for me.
Congrats Lou. My numbers are similar to yours. Heaviest at 343 pounds - April 6, 2015. Sleeved June 30. Working hard and am now down to 274. Hope to get where you are. Thanks for the inspiration! You look good and healthy friend.
I felt your feelings also. Didn't tell anyone. I'm 40 pounds down since June. That's a bag of rock salt. (For those who live in that part of the country). The biggest benefit: food doesn't control me anymore. I control it. You have the power!
Had surgery on june 30th also. My surgeon told me that most won't get 64 in but to just sip every 10 minutes while awake and you will do well. So far so great!
