My inspire implant was on April 13th, 2023. I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea approximately 10 years earlier and after a couple of years attempting to treat it with a variety of mask therapy options I stopped doing anything for it. In early 2022 I was diagnosed with a heart flutter for the first time and in response I had a sleep study which confirmed sleep apnea and I again unsuccessfully attempted to treat it with CPAP and BIPAP masks.

I heard of Inspire in the media and after research and meetings I finally had the implant. I have always been very active physically but I have also worried about not successfully treating my sleep apnea. My attempts at mask therapy often left me tired and discouraged. I now rest and sleep extremely well with the Inspire implant and its so easy to use each night without any side effects, disappointments, or regrets. I highly recommend anyone who has sleep apnea to consider the Inspire implant. The Inspire implant is much easier to use than using and cleaning a mask daily.
