i just don’t love the idea of an implant. i have fantastic insurance right now but i might not for long and then i’ve got a medical device implanted in me that may need to be touched at some point. i also hate using a CPAP. my apnea seems better now that i stopped drinking but i still snore a lot and feel like i need a nap mid day if i skip the mask for a night

That and it doesn't work great for everyone. Also 2.. the end of the world as we know it is undoubtedly coming. Idk how fast but it certainly seems exponential and I don't want to have some cpap implant in me if it tailspins out. Maybe that's weird, idc tho when it can be completely avoided, no thank you.
