The more people that take part in these polls then the more accurate they will be.

As always, YMMV! You do not have to agree or disagree, I am not a professional so my mental meanderings are simply recollections of things from my own life.

Wow, I've got a big neck, 21.5. I guess that would be XXXXXL.

RE: Truth or Lie (Sleep Apnea)
I measured mine a month ago...so I know what mine is now...but pre-op to my weight loss surgery, mine measured a 16, which would have been large, now I am considered an extra small.

The average collar size for a man is around a 16 1/2 to 17 inches
There isnt one for women Maybe they fib too much lol Sleep apnea patients have a larger than average neck size. Looks like that could be a false fact?

RE: Truth or Lie (Sleep Apnea)
I had to take part in this poll.
Prior to my bariatric surgery which occurred 19 months ago today, my neck measurement was 18.25 inches. My most recent set of measurements were taken last month. My neck measurement was 14.25 inches. INFORMATION ON APNEA BOARD FORUMS OR ON APNEABOARD.COM SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS MEDICAL ADVICE. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF A PHYSICIAN BEFORE SEEKING TREATMENT FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SLEEP APNEA. INFORMATION POSTED ON THE APNEA BOARD WEB SITE AND FORUMS ARE PERSONAL OPINION ONLY AND NOT NECESSARILY A STATEMENT OF FACT.
