Hi I'm joe I was diagnosed with severe apnea 15 yrs ago. I've been on a B-Pap and use it every night for 15 yrs. My condition is getting worse and I have been approved and scheduled to get the new "inspire" implant on 3/11/16. I read everything there is too read, discussed all issue's with the surgeon. I am now getting cold feet and becoming a little scared to get it. Only because it is so new. I would really like to talk with someone who has it to help in my decision. To let you know my 1st study I stopped breathing 51 times per hr. That was 15 yrs ago. I have been fine until a few months ago my pressure was raised to 16/13 and I'm having 23 episodes per hr. This is why they have recommended inspire. Just a little scared and nervous. Please let me know asap if someone is out there I can speak with. Thanks Joe
