Re: How frequently does your sleep specialist follow up?
I have been on my machine for almost 2 months now and mine wanted to do a download after two weeks, I took my machine in with me, and she emails me once a week to see how I am doing. I am scheduled to do another download in about two more weeks, just before Christmas Break.
