MARPE before and after sleep study (GET IN HERE)

[Renophobeadoobe]

I just received my sleep study results after finishing MARPE.

My AHI has gone from 6.5 -> 3, my RDI has gone from 20 -> 13

This is really good news for you niggas who have mild sleep apnea and are seeking a MARPE. (I still think it's not the best route, you should still get DJS with a segmental if you're narrow).

On the topic of DJS, please make sure you fraud your sleep study to where you're guaranteeing a AHI or RDI of 15+. I'm retarded and didn't secure the bag entirely, and it doesn't help that I took mk677 the day I took the study.

Otherwise insurance will be difficult and deny your ass immediately.

Thankfully I have brutal ass asymmetries that will still make me a candidate for a LF1/segmental, but I need to figure out how I'll get coverage for mandible advancement. Because they only insure it if you're moderate-severe OSA patient on paper

also my snoring went from 78% to 20%.

TLDR:
- MARPE on paper helped with apnea
- I still have symptoms that only DJS will resolve (you should get DJS not marpe)
- I'm so brutally asymmetric that I'll likely still get coverage


I'm now open to questions again about MARPE. It's 90% cope but I realized it could actually work for some of y'all

Shit formatting and everything prolly DNR and that's chill

just wanted to add the cases where MARPE could actually work is if you don't have a front to back airway narrowing issue

which most of us with OSA/UARS likely have
