James I know you are right, but I gotta tell you that I was told 1 week ago that I needed to wear this machine and when I picked it up I cried all the way home, I have been embarrassed many times about my weight, but this was the first time that I was reduced to tears.

I absolutely hate it  - and to make things worse I am even more tired using the damn thing than I was without it.  I don't get more than 1/2 hours sleep then I am awake feeling like I am about to suffocate. My dh tells me that he hears me gasping now but never did before I got it.  I can't stand anything on my face so I am always pulling it off while I am sleeping.

So all I can hope is that  I will be one of the lucky ones who no longer need it after I have my wls cause I don't know what I am going to do if this is permanent.

I have Claustrophobia and I have a difficult time wearing my mask. I need to have a full face mask because I'm a mouth breather. I wonder if I should try other masks out.

I also have night sweats which only makes the mask more uncomfortable. I try but never seem to beable to keep the mask on all night.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same problem until I changed masks to nasal pillows instead.  The pillows is much easier to use for me than the mask that goes over the nose.

i havent had the cold nose yet but my mask sometimes rides up and is in my mouth

Thank You everyone for your response. I have someone whom is sending me one, and yes i am welll aware that I cannot use this persons setting. It will be recalberated, to suit my own needs. thanks again
