Got Inspire on September 8th 2021

I was implanted on 09/08/2021 and I live in two states, Ohio in the Summer and Arizona in the Winter. I have gone from 4 hours of sleep a night with a number of interruptions to a solid 7-8 hours of sleep each night. I have more energy, I have lost 32 pounds and I'm able to do activities that in the past, I didn't have energy to for or didn't have the interest because I was too tired.

Interests: I play alot of golf and do some public speaking events.

Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea: I could not tolerate the CPAP machine.

In a few short words, I would describe Inspire therapy as: It takes care of my Sleep Apnea with very little effort on my part. Turn it on and go to sleep. Done.

Why am I a patient ambassador? I have enjoyed helping others who have faced the same problems with Sleep Apnea and the CPAP machine. I have also enjoyed working with the Inspire Fellows Program.
