I've been on CPAP for a little over a yr. I have started to experience alot of gass, bloating and stomach trouble. Dr. says I have a hyatile hernia(sp), all I know is it is very uncomfortable. Any ideas?

Re: What's the longest anyone has had to sleep in another room?

My wife and I have slept in separate berooms for 25 + yrs. She moves around alot and I don't, plus before cpap I snored badly. Post cpap we still don't sleep together. It has worked for us, she gets her sleep I get mine.

Re: Side sleepers please chime in

Because I am a mouth breather, I use the Quattro FX FF mask, it does leak some but not as bad as when I started the CPAP, I do like it but may explore the nasal pillows when I get my next mask. I start on my back and end up on my left side.

Re: Weight loss after cpap anyone?

I wish I could say I was losing weight, but I have actually gained a few pounds, mainly water weight because I've quit getting up 4-5 times a night to go to the bathroom. It's not my kidneys, their fine. I am a diabetic and have high BP, so that could be it but haven't been to the doctor yet to chec...

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

Just received the Reszzz liners yesterday, wrong size but they seem to fit. It worked as advertised, reduced the leaks to one. I am satisfied this will help me to keep the mask and not have to get another. As I said, I don't think there is a mask that is leak free, but the liners did help me. Hope t...

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

I just ordered mask liners from Reszzzz to help with the leaks, but I'll be honest I don't think there is a mask out ther that doesn't leak. I will report on the succes or failure on the liners, I like my Quattro FX and don't want to buy another mask.

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

I have been using the FX for two weeks and have had some trouble with leaks especially when I turn on my side. I had a Flex fit 431 and didn't like the mark left on my nose or forehead. I don't believe there is a perfect mask that won't leak. I look for comfort and th FX fits the bill for now. I wil...

Re: Mask problems

After going on the web, I see that they ripped me off and I may not be able a better machine. I now see that some places only care about the $$$ and not the client. I want to thank you fo...
