My x brother in law had the surgery done and I don't want to scare you but it just ruined his face. His face looks so unreconizable from what he looked like before and he has said that he still has problems not with just sleep apnea now but also with the surgeries. So I just don't know. You may want to talk with others who have had the surgery to see what outcome they had. You said you wouldn't try the c pap machine but maybe you should consider it for now since it's not so invansive like the others and just see how you like it or not. My husband did not want to use the c pap either and now since he found the right mask he doesn't mind it. I wish you the best of luck and hope you find something that helps your sleep apnea. |
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for sharing this. I'm so sorry for what happened to your x Brother in law
, that's really awful. So, your hubby got used to sleeping okay with those straps and the mask? Does he also have non-apnea insomnia though, like me?
