Why do these things cost $1000 plus...looks like a very simple machine?

you are comparing the OP in height and weight to Peyton Manning.


I didn’t compare the individuals I simply mentioned they are close to the same height and weight.

How do you know the athletic physique of the OP?

Sleep Apnea is more prevalent in fat people but not exclusive to overweight people by any means.

ResMed 10 full face mask, love it. Little overweight but have snores for years even when I was 210lbs. 6’2” here.

Can I lose weight, sure. Will the haters on this board ever have dicks as big as mine? Or be as tall as me? Or look as good as me? NOPE.

while true it is estimated a minimum of 85% of cases are from being overweight. also prevelant in those that do lots of neck work and use juice and also in those with really short necks.

responics is the brand used for last 12 years. This is a long term use and you might want to compare the costs of the different delivery systems. A direct purchase from cpap.com may be cheaper than using a service through your insurance. For me it took about 11 months of copay to offset the direct purchase of a machine that will easily go 5 years.

Ever since 777 got fat he's been projecting his fatness onto everyone. Like professional athletes are the only people with athletic builds. Lots of people have broad shoulders, large torsos and long arms.

So you’re just assuming like everyone else in this thread.

In appreciate your knowledge but sometimes you might want to tone it down a bit.

It’s weird how my apneas vary from less than 2 some nights to over 12 other nights. Always lower on Saturday nights highest on Sunday nights. I don’t drink or smoke. I guess I’m just fat on Sunday.

Do you have a neck?

Because if you are one of these guys that looks like they are wearing football shoulder pads all the time, you probably have sleep apnea.
