Mask was scary at first and I think I had to stop at the second or third one for a while as it was giving me a panic attack. By the 20th one I would go to my happy place. I also learned to count the movements of the machine and knew that they were hitting 9 places. Unfortunatly for me, at the end I'd lost so much weight that the mask was getting loose enough to be not so uncomfortable.
Keep on truckin', it'll be great.
