I’m looking for anyone’s experience, good or bad. I just had the device implanted and it will be activated in May.

Medicare covers it but you have to have a BMI <35Did your insurance cover that? I heard that device was around $20K.
The delay is to allow for healing. They put a device on the right side of my chest and ran a wire up into my jaw next to the nerve that controls the tongue. The incisions need to heal and scar tissue to form to keep the wire in place.Why the delay in activation? It’s seems interesting but I feel like none of these “fixes” really address underlying conditions. I was going to have turbinate reduction surgery but started exercising, llost 10 lbs and my wife my snoring is much better. I do use a sinus spray called Ryaltris that helps.
But to get to your question…no. But I would probably go with it before the dang tubes everywhere
Sorry to hear about the stroke. Yeah if you have muscle weakness stemming from that then I can see how the device would help.The delay is to allow for healing.

I had a stroke three years ago and lost a little more than 30 lbs. I use a Bipap machine and my pressure 19/15 keeps going up. Had to do something.
The issue is that 40 lbs didn’t love you back.I got a CPAP in November of 2023. I love 40lbs in 2024 and haven't used it in about 9 months.
I doubt that helps, but the weight loss for me helped my sleep apnea.

You will.No it didn't. Now, I just need to keep it off.
Wanted to add…the cost I saw was a little over 23K.Did your insurance cover that? I heard that device was around $20K.
