I had to stop using mine within 4 weeks after surgery. The pressure was too much and I didn't have an auto pap. Insurance wouldn't let me get one without going through all the hoops so I have not been using it and feel fine!

Good luck

How do you know you don't need it? I'd love to retire mine. Only 22 days post op.

I was going to ask this same question. Do you have to have another sleep study or can you just tell?

22 days, huh. Side question. Do you still have pain? If not, when did pain stop?

I haven't used mine since the hospital. I downloaded an app called Sleep Sounds Recorded and recorded myself. No snoring at all.

Yes, that's how I can tell I don't have it anymore either. I stopped snoring, yay! I did not need my CPap anymore since about a week after surgery.
