Has anyone heard of a different treatment for people who suffer with sleep apnea?


Someone I work with heard about this new type of treatment that treats sleep apnea besides the CPAP that is a machine that continually keeps air flowing tthrough a mask that is worn. This new treatment, if there is such a thing is something else. This was second hand info so I'm not sure if this is right.

Is it the BiPap?

Go on the diet Fit for Life... even if you're not fat... lol. It's by a guy named Neil Diamond I think... It works.

lose weight

I've seen it. It looks bulky and scary. I think I also heard of a surgery as well. No, that is the CPAP. Sorry.
