Inspire Sleep Apnea Implant and Shooting?

[BCD]

Has anyone had the Inspire sleep apnea implant surgery? I am scheduled for surgery but am concerned about being able to shoot heavy recoiling rifles comfortably as the implant is typically placed high in the right chest/shoulder area (I shoot right handed) and I am concerned with contact with the butt of the gun. I am going to talk with the surgeons office Monday about this but am just wondering if anyone has any background here?

Thank You!

I am in the same situation. Did you go through with the implant, and if so, are you still able to shoot a rifle?

Thanks!

Oh, and more importantly…does the implant work?

Curious about if the implant works, didn't even think about issues with shooting.

Ask if they can move it more midline or to the left side. I know they ask people around here if they hunt and will move the placement based on that for PICC lines.

Checking in to see how this went or if anyone else has had the surgery?
I am scheduled for next month. My doctor said he would place it in left side since I am a righty.

Interested in this too. I hate wearing a cpap and would love to get the inspire. Would love to hear from those who've done the procedure!

I have been fighting with cpap for about 2 years now and I just don't get along with it. They call it intolerance.
I'm both excited and hesitant about about getting it but once it's all done I think it will be worthwhile.
