Was wondering when and at what times would there be people in the chat room. I would love to meet and greet more people. because it would be way to be able to go into chat room at any time to

Sandra, Someone is usually in there from 8 pm on during the week. I'm not for sure about the weekends. I usually try to check in around 9 every night. Join us, we have a hoot!! There are many there in all stages of their journey. We laugh, lend support, and did I say laugh!! See ya Monday night!! Barbara

Thank you again. I do have ins, I will ask the lady. If I have any questions I'll email you. I love the photo of you and the children. Carol

Hello, There are 2 things you can do. My husband has been a CPAP user for 12 yrs and me for 4 years. We both like the nasal mask (less claustrophobic) provided the "nose pillows" are the correct size. Then, for MOUTH BREATHERS, they make a velcro CHINSTRAP that goes over your head and under your chin. It velcros at the top of your head and it WILL hold your mouth closed. My mother even has that same "mouth breathing" problem and her chin strap did the trick. It does take some adjusting. Until you adjust, I highly suggest that you take a nerve pill or other sleep aid (even 'Benadryl) so that you are REALLY sleepy and can barely hold your eyes open when you go to bed. This will keep you from laying there and obsessing about the machine. I use Xanax on tough nights but usually a double dose of Benadryl 50 mg (safe and non-habit-forming) will put anyone to sleep withint a couple of hours. If you like herbs, then you may prefer "melatonin" tablets 1 or 2 30 min. before bedtime and they will help you sleep. The sleep aid is only needed for a few weeks until you are comfortable with the mask. I know it's frustrating. My husband had trouble but I put mine on the first night and have never slept a night without it in 4 years. I hope this information helps. Best wishes. After you start wearing it, you will see a HUGE difference in your energy and alertness during the day. It may take about 1 week for your body to "catch up" on sleep, but it will be SOOOOO worth it in the end. I promise !!!!! Go for it !!!!

I am with Barb, better known as "Gastric By Pass Barbie." Come on in a stay a while. We have a blast. If you egt there and no one is on, just wait for a few...... Look forward to seeing you! Pat

I have been trying to catch someone in there. No luck yet. I'll keep looking for you!

Dear Sandra, the more the merrier. We have a great time and it is so helpful to know others going through this. We make lasting friendships. Hope to see you soon. Diane
