First night with the cpap!

And I feel like I'm trying not to hyperventilate! Ugh! I have low apnea however because I have it I must use the cpap as all of you know! Only thru the surgery date! So I went with renting a brand new one! It's super nice and silent but I still have a huge thing on my face that my kitten thinks he needs to get! Hah! Ugh, wish me luck thru my first night!

What brand is yours? With mine, I thought I was going to suffocate. I adjusted the settings and set the air pressure a bit higher and it was great

I'm doing ok right now.. She set mine at a range right now. I just realized I'm breathing thru my nose for the first time in a long time tho! It's going at a 4 but my range is 6-12 it's recording everything so when I go in again for a restudy they will have an actual setting.

I did find out they should of done a split study tho. So I am actually going to talk to my doc as I don't think they did it right and I don't feel I should have to pay for 2 if they should of done this in one! But who knows!

I have a brand new Philips respironics remstar auto a-flex system one.

She also said to try and stay pre occupied for about 30-45 mins to adjust before wanting to actually fall asleep! So I'm playing on this and my phone! It will take an additional 45-60 mins for me to fall asleep after doing nothing! Lol.

That's the one that I have as well I believe. If needed, you can YouTube how to access the "secret" settings menu. You can tweak everything till it feels right

Thanks I'm finally calming down took it off a few mins ago to use the restroom and my cat finally stopped attacking it. So now I'm waiting for my ambien to kick in so I can just sleep! I'm tired! Are you sleeved yet?

I'm 3 months out. Do you have to wait to be sleeved because of sleep apnea?

Nope I'm scheduled for April 15th pending ins approval. But just going thru the motions. Ugh!

I was pushed out 2 months because of the sleep apnea. The waiting always sucks. I thought I'd wait forever

I totally understand, I had my sleep study while completing all my required things so I'm lucky it isn't effecting my date! Considering I am a band to sleeve revision I'm ready!!

I cried when they told me I had sleep apnea. Freaked out the tech lol. But eventually I got to this point. And you will too. Do you still have your band?

I feel for anyone who had to wear one of those. I never had sleep apnea , does it help?

I have severe obstructed sleep apnea (on cpap for less than a year now) but honestly can say it HELPS. I wake up wide awake. I am not sluggish during the day. I put mine on while watching TV before bed. It is such a tiny mask. Fits just around my nose. You will notice how much better you can breathe with it on. I LOVE it. I left mine on a flight once and had a panic attack when I realized I lost it. Thank goodness the airport lost and found had it :)
