GoodKnight no more

I find myself with a Puritan GoodKnight 420G + humidifier that I no longer need now that I've dropped the weight that was the real cause of my snoring and apnea. I've only used it for about 8 nights and have the case, manuals, and two different masks (one unused).

If anyone is interested in purchasing it (or has any idea where I might sell it to someone who could use it), please contact me at belthenaar@comcast.net.

Thanks much and peaceful nights.

Ken,

I'm not interested in the machine but I would pay good money for the diet that allowed you, in eight days, to lose enough weight to get off of cpap!

What's your secret?

I WISH it had only taken 8 days! Point of fact is that I wasn't tollerating the CPAP all that well and I took a good hard look at WHY I was using it at all - to try and overcome symptoms that my Dr. was telling me was a direct result of my weight. That, and look down the road at other potential problems associated with being too heavy, made the decision to drop the weight.

It's actually taken about 38 days to drop 26lbs - enough to wipe out both the snoring and the apnea. I'm following a program called MediFast - a medically sound system that was developed for the use of obese patients to quickly, and safely, lose enough weight so they could undergo necessary surgery. You can check their web site for details. I couldn't recommend it more highly as I'm averaging nearly a pound a day (your results may be different) and its an easy program to stick with that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I was talking to someone here last night on the live chat who was also on the program (he and his wife) and he had lost over 100lbs in the last year!
