Since my surgery I'm having problems sleeping with my cpac. Just not comfortable any more. Doctor says we need to do a new sleep study my numbers may have changed for the good we hope. Gastric doctor say that I may not need it anymore let's hope?

Just tell your doctor to order an AUTO CPAP with pressure settings of 5-18 for seven nights and it should be FREE from the company you got your CPAP from and that will tell if you still need it!!! It's ALOT cheaper than going back to the sleep lab!!!

Thanks cookie I will do that tomorrow

What is bipap?

Cookie got it rite my body was poisoning itself because I could not

exhale deep enough because of the pressure from the air, so my doctor switched me to bipap in which when you breathe out the machine kinda releases so you can exhale completely.

Im such a freak, because i have had mine for a year, and oddly enough i love it. I dont think i could sleep without it. I just have a tiny one that just goes over my nose, but it has a calming effect

I got a loaner until my odsp (Ontario disability support program-Canadian) approved mine... Not sure if that option is available to you? You will be SO astounded by the results!!

Omg you should be able to see the diffference nite away. I hated the fact that I was sleepy all the time.

I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. Just about 6 weeks ago. I do wear my cpap and use the nose pillow mask. I have had a hard time adjusting to it though! I still feel tired everyday but not as much I guess.

I had nose pillows at first could not get used to it now have full nose and mouth mask also have a water warmer great now cool in summer hot in winter
