Well today I decided it had been a couple of weeks since Dr. Clough's office had sent my paper work to the insurance company...Boy I am glad for them, but hate dealing with mine...lol...I decided to call my insurance company to make sure they had received it and all and then I would know when my month was, because they said they had up to a month to approve or deny you...well all I got was a run around, they told me they didn't think they had it or I couldn't be calling about it anyway because it hadn't been 30 days...Well I decided to call Northeast Surgery and find out if they had a way of knowing...and sure enough there is a website they can go to with their dr number or something and it tells when they received it and where its at...Well I had her check so I would know when I could call and check on it and she came back to me and said they got it June 5th and I was approved June 18th (today as a matter of fact). So I am approved and will be having surgery on July 29, 2008...Yeah I made it...Thanks for all your support...I know I am not on here much, but I've been busy with school getting out and what not...thanks all...

Woo Hoo Angela lots of room on the losers bench. I am so happy for you. I too use the nasal pillows. I do not hook the tube to the head gear i let it free float and i also make a pony tail to keep it from slipping. but i like them better. Even have learned how to open my mouth and hold my tongue so air dont come out. Doo that in my sleep so my hubby tells me too. The nasal mask and the full face mask did not work out good for me. Good luck.
