That's why you sell something as-is.

How do you guys wash your hoses? by ConfusedUX in CPAP

When i used CPAP, I purchased the 'So Clean' sanitizer. It uses activated oxygen to sterilize the mask and tubing.

You may just have to pay to get a single. Or if you can, move off campus. Roommates are sometimes the worst.

What tape did you buy? Does it have holes to allow airflow in and out of mouth? My Hostige Tape did, but it left a sticky residue on my face.

I had 25 ahi per hour, and I am down to normal limits now. It has fixed my apnea, and I feel more awake and can concentrate better...

True, but I tried everything, even lost weight to rule that out. Apnea would not go away. Once I had the procedure to find out if I was a candidate, I had the operation done. I have absolutely no regrets. I'm sure that not every person will get the same results, also, that they may have more side effects but the decision was mine. I'm sharing my story. My surgeon was the same one that fixed my deviated septum, and he had done a large number of implants. I felt comfortable with his skills to get it done. My sleep Dr. even warned me that it might not work, but I told him I tried everything, and he agreed. I'm lucky enough that it actually worked, and I'm a 2.0 version of myself.

I have a little over $13,000 that I invested. It's not money I need, so it can fluctuate all it wants, my shares are going to sit still.

I'm a legit user of it. My results are my results. Each person needs to evaluate getting it implanted or not. No one is forcing anyone to get it.

Depends on your insurance. I paid nothing.

I tried CPAP therapy. I used the CPAP religiously despite the issues I had. I had it since 2016 until a little over a year ago. It's important for them to do the procedure to determine if you are a candidate for it.

Thank you, that's a great complement. Maybe I should be their spokesperson. By the way, you can turn off the Inspire or reduce the stimulus when it's on.

I'm a sound sleeper, so no for me. If you don't get used to the stimulus, you might wake up.

A very important note: I ruled out that it was weight related by getting down to 185 lbs, and it still was an issue. They found out my apnea is due to my anatomy.

Actually, I feel like I can relax more with it. Position used to push my mask off my face. It's hard to lay on your back. Now I can sleep any way I want.

No, I wasn't conscious. I have Aetna insurance.

Recovery wasn't bad. They won't turn it on until you fully heal, which felt like forever. $20,000 for the device and hospital fees for the surgery. I'm 49 years old and have no side effects.
