The AutoPAP that, is in my opinion, the best on the market is the Respironics M Series Auto with A-Flex. As many cpaptalkers will attest, this machine is the cat's meow. Here is the link ...

Hi OSAGirl, O2 saturation of 90% or higher is considered normal. If you are at 91% you are doing just fine. There is no need to try and raise your O2 level to more than 95%. Some people will have a resting saturation of higher than 95%, but other will be a little lower. As long as you are above 90% ...

The reason that the doc's are so stingent is that they are rated on their numbers. Stats are everything to a bariatric doc. They want to know that you will be able to handle the surgery. It is a huge deal to get this done. People even die due to the surgery. My primary care doctor's 32 year old nurs...

Here is one that works for me and mask leaks. I use plumbers Teflon tape when any swivel or mask part starts to leak. This is especially effective with my Swift II. My face is pretty wide so I end up spreading the headgear out and both ends of the mask frame leaks. I wrapped both the cap and the sho...
