Good luck with your new c-pap. Not trying to cast any negatives on this but--- I have been on C-pap since the end of May, 2000. It definately took me longer that 3 weeks to adjust. I was really hating it about that time. For me 3 months was enough time. Surgery, you cannot take back after it is done. If you are unsure at 3 Weeks, give it longer if you can. C-pap when complied with has a far greater success rate than surgery!!! Of course we are all different and you may need surgery to elimiate large tonsils ect. Keep in mind the success rate on surgery is somewhere around 50% on improving apneas. WISHING YOU LOTS O LUCK!
