Hi everyone just thought I'd let you know I received my FFM sleepweaver Anew and it fits just fine no going ahead with operation as you can see from info posted below -
I am posting this message to THANK ALL OF YOU who replied to my original post ? concerning surgery to fix OSA - I have spent many hours reading hundreds of past posts on the forum concerning people who had surgery to try and cure the OSA and the conclusion is they all failed they may have had some relief from OSA for some years following surgery but their OSA all returned just as bad as ever to bite them on the bum and they were forced back to cpap treatment to cope with their OSA only NOW they had terrible complications from having half their mouth removed which made returning to cpap treatment very difficult indeed - thank you so much you kind people for pointing me in the right direction and making the FATAL MISTAKE of pursuing surgery options to cure my OSA - in a nutshell surgery methods simply do not work in the long run and leave you with more problems than ever postsurgery and returing back to cpap to cope with OSA.
I have finally reaialsed that cpap is the GOLD STANDARD in fixing OSA in my case since the the three and a half years since using cpap my health and energy returned to such a degree that I was able to ride my bike for 40km a day and use a 1200 kal diet for nine months to lose 112 lbs pound of excess fat I lost 40 % of my total body weight how ever this huge lose of weight did not cure my OSA but I am sure it lowered my nightly AHI events plus I feel fantastic in body mind and sprit from my weight loss all due to cpap therapy so I now confess I will NOT be going ahead with my $5600.00 surgery to try and cure my OSA infact I can afford to buy a s9autoset cpap machine and several new masks and still have $2600.00 left over in my bank account once again thankkkkkkkk you so very much for guiding me to sanity and seeing the TRUTH - I think I must have been suffering from a large dose of wishful thinking and total ignorance of the facts I am quite sure now that my ENT surgeon was outright lying to me when he said he could cure my OSA with an operation which by the way is very painful to recover from - god bless you all here on this forum for helping me see the light - I WISH you ALL a very happy day and a peaceful nights sleep on your hose and cpap - much love from Peter
