VPAP machine for complex apnea

Is anyone using a VPAP machine after being diagnosed with complex sleep apnea? I just had my third sleep study and it sounds like this is the machine that my doc will be recommending for me. I guess it analyzes each breath you take to customize the next breath. I'd be interested in anyone's experience with this. Thanks.

I never heard of a V-PAP. I have had a Bi-PAP machine though, but mostly have used the good ol C-PAP. I hate it and cannot wait to get rid of it once and for all. YEAH DS!

I use an APAP which is now about two years old. I have not heard of a "variable" either, but click on the link to the Moderated Chat . Good luck!

Ariela,
Thank you so much for the information! This is so new to me and with surgery coming up within a couple months it's a little overwhelming. Good info. I'm going in this morning to get my VPAP, so it should be interesting,
