According to Inspire's webpage, there was a three year study that had 126 participants in which 116 completed it all the way through. After three years, there was a 78% reduction in the AHI. There are also other studies that are ongoing. Personally, if I were to have the procedure, as with any surgery, I would ask the surgeon what his/her success rates are regarding this procedure. I would also want to know how many this person has done. And by the way, if you have a negative reaction to surgery, including this procedure, keep in mind that many folks who undergo this particular one or any other surgery have come to this decision as a last resort due to not being able to tolerate pap therapy. And if you're one of those folks who has a low enough AHI that this procedure could get you close to the ideal below 5 AHI figure, this procedure has some advantages due to it being alot less invasive than other procedures. Of course, there are disadvantages too which have to be considered. 49er

It would be for me anyway, I've taken to CPAP like a fish to water, beside my BMI is too much I'd need to lose lot's which I should anyway. I was just wondering and wow $27,000 could buy a few CPAP machines. |
