“Life changing and makes travel easier!”
I received the Inspire implant in May of 2022. The results have been incredible and gave me the opportunity to do more bike camping. My apnea events have also decreased significantly.
Interests:
Church, cycling trips and outdoor sports.
Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:
I choose Inspire therapy when all the other options failed to improve my obstructive sleep apnea. I had surgery for my deviated septum, lost 90 pounds and spent many years on CPAP and Bi-pap and my numbers got worse.
I asked the doctor if there was anything I could use to help make my bike camping trips more comfortable. I didn't want to pedal with the extra weight of distilled water and a CPAP machine and my doctor told me that the Inspire implant was my only option since everything else I tried didn't work. I jumped at the chance.
Why am I a patient ambassador?
I'm a patient ambassador because I wanted to help others. I knew little about Inspire when the doctor told me about it. I got lucky when my friend had it done and he agreed to talk to me, alleviating some of my worries.
