My stepdaughter couldn't get CPAP's to work so she went with the Inspire surgically implanted device. She's doing great with it. I don't know how the FAA looks at it but it's not major surgery. It's expensive without insurance, around $30K-$40K. Here's some info on it:

I'm having the opposite problem. Diagnosed with OSA almost 5 years ago. Have CPAP, have over $1000 in masks sitting on my closet shelf after trying this for years. Cannot get good fit, masks all leak, lead to feelings of claustrophobia, have given up on sleep studies because the answer is always 'you just need to get used to it'. 5 years and I'm still not 'used to it'.
And I only get a good night's sleep when I DON'T use this equipment. WTF?
Does anyone have any experience or alternative solutions that are FAA approved (besides CPAP/BPAP)?
PM me with anything helpful, please.
