Caffeine? Even hidden caffeine in things like chocolate and some orange sodas?

Without knowing sex, BMI is even weaker as an indicator of proper weight. Suggesting a 30 pound weight loss to a person of unknown sex, and body type/composition is totally wrong and without merit.

You have no crediential whatsoever to suggest any quantitative weight loss on a person you now nothing about except a height and weight. None whatsoever.

There goes xxyzx insulting someone who dares to correct him. BMI is a population-based average for what is considered the correct ration of height to weight. As a population average, it cannot determine what the appropriate BMI is for an individual. A more accurate measurement is body composition, but even with the relationship between body comp and health is not exact. For example, the BMI of professional athletes ( excepting NFL linemen) is very high but they tend to have low body fat amounts. Conversely, slightly built women have lower BMI but much higher body fat amounts. Similar to the name caller's conclusions about AHI, BMI is at best a crude device, and not accurate for individuals, only populations.

Hey xxyzx have a ball with this one and prove again that you were wrong when you said you only attack when attacked. FInd an attack in this thread by anyone except you.

you really are a total libturd idiot

i did use the ramp
at various time settings

i could not sleep with the bipap and its fixed pressures

the asv Rx starts much lower and only goes higher when it is needed which is not all the time

Here is an example of xxyzx not insulting me, nor is being called fat, or smartass, or dumbass an isult in his mind. Whatever - have a ball as you continue to demonstrate how you ignore reality.

Dear oh dear I am being insulted and my information is being called bullshit once again. Shall we look at the facts here? xxyzx claims I am attacking him by correcting his incorrect information.

OP says they cannot get to sleep using a PAP device.
xxyxz claims the OP is not trying hard enough, and if he just tries harder he will be able to use XPAP
I point out that OP has corrected his sleep hygiene issues and can now fall asleep w/o PAP, but not while wearing PAP.
xxyzx feels competent to advise against surgery, I point out that the OP is in a far better position to determine his/her medical needs that xxyzx. xxyzx replies my opinion is nonsense and surgery is only surgeons trying to enrich themselves, despite not knowing or ever seeing the OP.

xxyzx claims if the OP they should try other types of PAP device and shifts the discussion about the duration of PAP use, ignoring the sleep onset issue that is the OP's problem with PAP devices.

When I point out that the type of PAP devices really is not pertinent to the OP issues because the ramp feature should allow a way to get to sleep regardless of the type of PAP xxyxz tells how he cannot sleep with BiPAP but is working on being able to sleep with an ASV, Once again not dealing with the OP sleep onset issue. My stating this results in a reply of Bullony.

Based on xxyzx previous statements that he could not adjust his BiPAP I noted that this was not a good example of the difference in sleep onset between the types of PAP devices.

xxyzx starts insulting me by calling me a libturd bully for disagreeing with his opinions.

xxyzx accuses me of attacking him. and further states I don't know the difference betweenBiPAP and ASV- I do.

OP reports they are 5'6 and weigh 165, and could to lose 10 pounds. xxyzx says they need to lose 30 and asks the OP BMI.

I pont out the known limitation of BMI, that it is a population-based statistic, and may or may not apply to the OP that we know little about, except age, weight, height.

FYI the BMI, easily calculable is 26.6 at the low end of overweight for the OP.

AT 155 the OPs BMI would be 25, right on the border or overweight and normal weight. The opinion that they need to lose 30 pounds is overstating the case. Especially when we know nothing of the OP body type, sex, or exercise habits.

xxyzx replies my assessment of BMI is nonsense
Indescibe what the BMI is and is not, xxyzx accuses me of lying, posting false information, and applying an overly simplistic tall/short/fat skinny rationalization of an absolutist interpretation of BMI.
More name calling by xxyzx ensure.

I have not insulted, name called, lied or anything that can be construed as an attack, yet xxyzx how insists the only attacks in a tit for tat manner keeps on name a calling and falsely accusing me.

I know I have derailed this thread but the truth and facts need to be stated somewhere.

OH yes, he accuses me of being a "chubby" based on my avatar, which may or may not be a picture of me, and clearly has been modified with a photo editing program. Another assumption to call me names.

Please note: some of us choose to present a face of some kind (our avatar) to present ourselves to others.
I have to wonder, with all the images available, why some people choose none at all.

Maybe the picture is there, only it's of their good side. Jim

Put you best crack forward.
