When I first started using my CPAP I used a full mask but it didn t agree with me so I switched to nasal pillows and that works great for me but it is up to individual user themselves

thank you again i have all the info i need about losing to much as i also talked with my medical admin and was made aware my insurance co. will cover me as soon as all my pre test are in because of my medical history -
thank you all fr the great response on my question about aaaaLap Band vs by-pass. I m convinced Lap band is gonna be best for me as i believe I just need the start cause i ve lost before and my BMI is about 43 thanks again
-
i m planing to get the lap band surgery after i put in for approval. Im waiting on my final testing resuts which will be ready on Jan.22. My BMI is about 44 and I have many health issues to take care of by losing weight. I m prepared for a life change. I first went to start the medical process about June so I hope my pre testing should be ready. Good luck to all.
