I was an early adopter...the device was implanted in my right breast in July 2020.
The device has been in use since 2014. I would have thought by 2020 the surgeons would have mastered their techniques. Sounds like your surgeon was new to the procedure. Practicing medicine. :evil:

Re: Very O.T, but... the sun

I’m so happy that I’m not a bug

Waiting seventeen years for a hug

And the sex that comes after

It leads straight to disaster!

Not to mention shoes smooshing my mug

Re: making adjustments

Are the leaks enough to be concerned about? You said they are. ----------------> I had a lot of trouble last night with the mask leaking. I took it and my chin strap off and put them back on a couple of times in the night in sort of a brain fog. Judge your sleep in the late evening. Were you energe...

Re: Living abroad part-time

You need to ask your doctor and DME if they will work with you on this.

If you get a ResMed machine, compliance data will only be uploaded in the country where the machine was sold. This is probably the same for other CPAP machine companies.

Just about every day my machine says my mask fit is great.
Look at the leak line on your chart. See how often it goes higher than the red line.

Re: making adjustments

The graphs are fine. First priority is getting control of the leaks. Have you studied some YouTube videos about fitting and adjusting your mask model?

Re: Wedge pillow helpful for nasal congestion issues?

I tried using a wedge pillow in the past but it still made my neck sore in the AM. I also tried using a pillow over the wedge pillow so I wouldn't be so elevated. Anyone have a good experience using a wedge pillow and is it ok to use another pillow on top of the wedge pillow for comfort? It's bette...

Re: Today's Solar Eclipse

In Chicago, only the January 24th eclipse.

We were on an SC beach trip in 2017 and drove inland to a cute little town to experience total.

I use a p30i nasal pillow (size large) and now it seems to be the source of my leak.
