Sorry for the delay in responding.

I was having about 45 episodes per hour.

The procedures have not cured my apnea but have made some improvement. The study I had done after the surgeries said I was still having 40 per hour BUT my oxygen level stays high for some reason.

I'm currently trying to switch from a dental appliance to CPAP but am having trouble finding a mask. Also, now after the surgeries I have to wear a chin strap since my throat doesn't seal like it's supposed to.
