Thanks for all of the great comments. After reading them and some articles I found via google I don't think the surgery would be a good way for me to go. I am in the process of scheduling an appointment with the sleep specialist to go over the specifics of what they found during the study and then start talking about machine's and what my insurance will cover. Thank you again for all of the advice regarding cpap vs surgery.
GeneL you are correct that I am overweight, currently at 219 which is about 19 pounds lighter than I started the year with. So I am making progress but it is slow. Once I know what my insurance will cover I will contact you to talk about what equipment of yours I may be able to make use of. Thank you for the very generous offer!
I have a question for GeneL and all of the rest of you CPAP users. Where you able to pick any machine you wanted and have the insurance pay a set amount of the bill or did you have to purchase one from their list? I am primarily concerned with noise level and having the humidification option. Did you rent first? What is that process like? Thanks again.
