“Inspire therapy is a breeze to use since all you do is turn on the remote. It was a huge life changing event for my husband and me. ”
I am Billie Keller and I've had my Inspire implant since September 2017. I have been married to my husband since 1978 and we have three daughters and seven grandchildren whom we adore. It has been a lifesaver to me since then and I now feel that I can conquer the world. One of the best things about Inspire is that it is so easy on you and traveling anywhere is such a breeze without having to carry that bulky CPAP machine. I feel so much better and I'm doing so much better since having the Inspire implant. I love to spread the word about Inspire and have helped many patients along their journey of getting Inspire.
Interests:
I love volunteering, cooking, baking, traveling, and spending time with my husband and family. My grandchildren are my pride and joy.
Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:
I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea because I just could not handle the CPAP any longer. I was always tired and lost interest in many of the things I always loved doing. I used the CPAP machine for about 20 years before finding out about Inspire. It was a no-brainer after reading, studying, learning, and talking to ambassadors about the implant. Once I felt comfortable it was for me, I proceeded with seeking out a doctor that would do the surgery. The rest is history!
Why am I a patient ambassador?
I chose to become a patient ambassador because I want to help anyone suffering with sleep apnea find out about Inspire therapy. I saw what sleep apnea did to me and I feel that not enough people know there is help out there. I've helped many patients thus far with the process and hope to help even more. I am always available to speak with anyone about this life changing therapy. No one has to suffer in silence!!!
