I'm not sure why Corky is obliged to tell anybody, anything! He simply has told us he's dumped the cpap and is in the trials for the new implant device. Simple! Why the need to grill him about every detail? He and the doctors have made the decision that, for whatever reason, he qualifies to partake ...

I wasn't referring to your questions Nate but to the sarcastic response from that goof person!

You're a very judgmental lot. We're all different and just because you do things differently doesn't make you cleverer or better than anyone else!

Corky, any updates? How are you now and has the implant been turned on?

..... however, I should add, just wait for the avalanche of replies from the negative nellies!!! To them I say, save your energy ....

Hi Nightmonkey, Nice to see something so positive on this thread!! That is extremely encouraging and I'm sure Corky and others who are contemplating this surgery will be happy to see these results. Of course, it is only relatively early days with this implant, so the results can only get better ... ...

Nothing hypocritical about it! I was referring to POSSIBLY not posting in a couple of weeks, once I have been seen by the doctors performing the trials. Yes, of course you could die getting your tonsils out ... you can die drinking water, too! So??? The stupidity of the graphs and pictures is in the...

Good to hear Corky! As for the photos, I'm sure a simple tonsillectomy would look just as gory! I've had four caesareans and I bet if I had seen a video of my firstborn's operation, he may well have been an only child!! I really don't know what your point is in showing all of this. Corky has already...

Calm down Deltadave, no-one is twisting your arm to make YOU have one inserted, so don't get your knickers in a knot!!!

If you'd read my posts, you would have seen that yes, at least with the Apnex trials there is a control group, so I imagine the same with Corky's one.

I agree, 49er! I'm sure Corky doesn't need us to be speaking for him, but it's hard to sit back and see him attacked when all he is doing is telling us of this new and, potentially, life-changing surgery. I would have thought most people on this forum would be keenly interested and supportive but ob...

You last posters don't seem to understand that when you are undergoing trials of any new medications/equipment/whatever it might be, you must follow instructions to the letter!! Otherwise the trials are not consistent and true and therefore would be quite pointless. I'm at the beginning of the proce...

Hi Sleeping Ugly,

Just wondering if you continued with using these glasses and, if so, whether you overcame the queasiness and found the glasses helpful. I'm considering buying a pair.

Thanks,

Deb

Please do, Corky. Hoping to go down this path myself, it's most useful to see how things develop with you. Do you know of anyone else that has had the procedure before you?

He has ... about a week ago. And that is why I've been making enquiries as I'm in the early stages of going down the same track with the Apnex device. I would love to know of more people that have undertaken this procedure but of course, being so new, there aren't that many guinea pigs around.

Yeeess ... the name ... so?? This is still related to "talking about CPAP"! And we're talking about something that may be end up being better than CPAP. They have to start somewhere! And you don't know that these implants won't become the GOLD STANDARD in time. I think I know who's in denial here!!
