I had it done about a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had a lot of problems using CPAP before the surgery and now I've been 100% compliant since. It's amazing what a difference it makes to be able to breathe through your nose! I had very little pain, I never even took...

What you are going through is very common. When I first started I tried for 2 weeks and could not sleep with it. After being awake for 4 or 5 hours I would throw the mask on the floor in frustration and sleep a couple of hours without it. I actually gave up after two weeks and it wasn't until a few ...

I'd be really curious to see the results of this same poll taken by people who don't have the support of this forum. I bet it would be way lower for compliance. What kills me is when I first got my machine my Doc told me I only needed to use it 4 hours a night. At the time that sounded great, now th...

How many of you are 100% compliant?
I am curious how many of you are 100% compliant with your xpap therapy. By this I mean EVERY time you are asleep for any reason you use your machine, except for maybe nodding off for a minute or 2 like when watching TV or something. I see many posts about people taking their masks off part way throu...
