I'm wondering now if my vest fits properly. Everyone talks about how they can't do theirs full blast because they feel squished. This is not a problem for me. So does this mean that my vest doesn't fit tight enough?? Or is everyone using one of the newer vests? Makes me wonder...

<br><br>

How would I get a tighter fitting vest? Would I call my vest company or the doc?<br><br>

Also, for those who have gotten one of the newer vests... How much did you have to pay each month for it after insurance and what was like the minimum you had to pay a month to be able to keep it? I want a new one, but I have Cigna, and they suck. I know I'd have to pay like 20 or 40 percent.. but I don't want to have to send a bunch of money every month. I already owe a bunch of money in med bills. How did everyone else get theirs?

I got the Respirtech vest that is custom fit - no one size fits most. They measured many parts of me to get the correct size.

I met my out of pocket max for the year when I got my Respirtech so I didn't have to pay anything.
