Re: I'm A New Person After Sinus Surgery!
Good Morning, Yes, that cushion is the right one I am still using it every night while recovering from sinus surgery and retitrating my CPAP requirement. While keeping an open mind about possibilities for new cpap direction, I decided to try the Airsense 11. It looked like it worked pretty well and ...

Re: I'm A New Person After Sinus Surgery!
Thanks so much Granny! This wedge has been a life saver for me right now and I was required to keep my head up a few days. My "sleep" is terrible after surgery but it appears better on the wedge than normal pillow, only about 3 hours last night. I do recommend this wedge to those who want or need on...

Re: I'm A New Person After Sinus Surgery!
Good Morning and thank you so much for taking the time and caring to provide your assistance. I was titrated to 8 over 15 years ago which is why I was set to a range of 6 - 10 and my data stayed well within those limits consistently. But this is like starting over and I don't know what to expect. I ...

I'm A New Person After Sinus Surgery!
I successfully managed my Apnea with APAP for 15 years. Recently I developed a bad sinus infection and after antibiotics failed to clear it up, endoscopic Septoplasty & Bilateral Turbinate Reduction surgery was performed 10 days ago. No useful cpap attempts until last night when my nose cleared up e...

Re: Full Face Mask After Sinus Surgery?
Those cushions have helped. I have been using them for a week and they help control the drainage and swelling. I have had no quality restful sleep for a week now. My pain experience was mostly sinus headache type that have subsided. As to the CPAP question I got nowhere with the full face mask and t...

Re: Full Face Mask After Sinus Surgery?
This is a new sleep apnea experience I was not aware was possible! Using this effective recovery cushion setup from Amazon for the second night, I believe I got up to 6 hours sleep sitting almost erect…without my airway collapsing!!! I have no head or body aches, exhaustion I always experience even ...

Re: What Would You Do If You Had To Go Without CPAP For 48 - 120 Hours?
Sorry to hear that…that or at my age of 73 thought it could cause a heart attack! ENTs as good as they may be at what they do don’t seem to fathum sleep apnea but who does if you haven’t been there. I decided I’m better off not sleeping than trying to sleep without cpap. So I’m just dosing for an ho...

Re: Full Face Mask After Sinus Surgery?
Success! It’s early but I’m breathing easier already. If there was any Respironics foam in my sinus it’s probably out now! Dozed about an hour and a half last night sitting up no cpap. I plan for about the same tonight. Too much bleeding & discharge to try the full face mask will try it tomorrow nig...
