Life changing, but this device requires work to dial it in. It is not a magic wand and requires your dedication. It is well worth it.

I received my Inspire in September of 2019, CPAP never worked well for me. I would wake up to a mask on the floor! I love my Inspire but, my wife loves it more!

Interests:

Woodworking, welding, shooting, mechanics.

Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:

My due diligence said it was the best idea.

Why am I a patient ambassador?

I decided to become a Patient Ambassador after having my implant surgery in 2019. I worked hard to get it dialed in and found it to be a huge success. I was an older patient at the time, VERY active male with five back surgeries both upper and lower, lived on a farm and was active in that work every day. Tractors, welding, plowing, horses, keeping buildings up, etc. I felt there may be some questions of patients about the ability to actually do these type of activities if they chose to get Inspire. I am also an advocate of one simple fact, this is no magic wand. It requires work and diligence on the patients part for this to be successful. I am convinced the instrument will do what is intended if we do our part.
