I need a CPAP for sleep apnea.  If you have a CPAP and no longer use it, I am in need and would greatly appreciate yours.  Free or I may be able to pay a small amount. Please call 304-587-1122 if you can help.  Leave a message if there is no answer and I'll call you back or send me an instant message on yahoo, my i.d. is: mskitty221.

 I recently went to my long awaited surgical consult. I've been dieting for 8 months and have lost 40#'s! I am still waiting on insurance approval, but the surgeon says I've completed all of the necessary steps and approval shouldnt be a problem... He said I should be in surgery by the end of October or beginning of November...

My only obsticle is the my surgeon insists that I get a CPAP for my sleep apnea. I was diagnosed in May and tried a machine for a month. I didnt adjust well to it and my insurnace wouldnt pay for the CPAP so I had to return it. Now, to get another machine, I have to get scheduled for 2 more sleep studies (ugh) and then wait for insurance approval and the machine company to contact me and get one to me...last time the process took over 2 months...

I need a CPAP...does anyone have one I can have?

Thanks in advance for any help!
