Just started. I also get sinus infections, so I got a full mask.

worked well enough for me to begin to lose weight. I don't like using the machine, sometimes the mask gives me a lot of face pain when it has to be on really tight so that it doesn't slip. It also leaves a deep groove in the side of my face that lasts most of the day. But it gives me better rest.
