Actually, I was originally diagnosed with moderate OSA. I lost weight, retested and was high mild. I then started the exercises, retest after 3 months and now I am borderline mild. AHI of approx 5.
You won't know if it will work with you if you don't try.
There is a huge difference between an initial moderate apnea up to 30 AHI, with weight loss to mild or near-treated, and the extremely severe OSA of 70 plus. Nevertheless, congrats, and hope you continue to enjoy the low event rate. Have you seen the recent INSPIRE threads?

Thanks Sleeprider. I have read a bit about Inspire, but it doesn't sound that pleasant to me.
Whenever I mention weight loss and 2 different types of exercise, it gets truncated to weight loss. I think the 2 forms of exercise are just as important as weight loss. My recent experience with the exercises has shown be that they cannot be discounted.
Weight loss and tongue/throat exercises. The exercises are the easy part.
