New Obstructive Sleep Apnea Solution (bye cpap)



You sleeping meaux bettah or less bettah after the solution?

"I would wake up multiple times a night, throwing up. I hadn't been breathing for over a minute. And you wake up like that I don't even know how many times," remembers J.J. Standing.


This sounds terrible. Seems like the more compact solution would be ideal for people who travel a lot too.

I can imagine people who like going camping will love this. But, especially people who hate that cpap machine.

Serious question: What would an MRI do? Rip the magnet out?

MAGNAP is what it's called. UCSF in San Francisco.

Get in touch with them.

Of course that's if you want it now. It'll be available soon, world wide.

The mag is screwed into my hyoid bone. It might rip the bone housing straight out! I don't know. I wear a dogtag with the words: YOU WILL RIP MY THROAT OUT WITH AN MRI NO MRI

If most of y'all would hit the gym instead of the buffet y'all wouldn't need cpap machines

Are there any known/suspected risks involving impacts to the front of the neck? Like would the implant come loose or migrate or anything weird? Is there any possibility of it somehow damaging or deforming the bone over time and would this create any problems?

Why not? This seems a hell of a lot better than a cpap.

I suspect if you ever needed an MRI they would have to surgically remove the magnet.

Can you hang metal objects from your neck?
Like is it a place where you can keep a metal ink pen? Or some paper clips?
