Any WLS Support Groups?

Sorry for this off-topic question but this support group has been such a help that I am hoping that the group can come to the rescue once more.

Falling asleep

Luckilly I've never had the problem with falling asleep while driving. It must be terrifying knowing that this can happen.

Did you ever fall asleep while commuting?

I know that it is dangerous to sleep without being connected but I was wondering if these are the same risks that occur if I fall asleep on the train to/from work. I sometimes doze off for half an hour or so which leads me to thinking that this might be dangerous. What do you think? Thanks. - Barry

Another stupid question...

I just bought some but was wondering how do you apply it and how much do you apply. I’ve seen some postings that say to “apply ...

HELP! Is my face too big?

I need help! Just diagnosed three weeks ago, I am having trouble finding the right mask. It is very frustrating and my tech is no help what-so-ever. So far, I’ve tried: - Swift nasal pillows (hurts the inside of my nose) - Ultra Mirage II (the best so far but after a couple of hours, it hurts betwee...
