Mild Sleep Apnea - I think

I'm scheduled for surgery on June 25, 2008 - I'm not sure but I may have mild sleep apnea - does anyone know if it could jeopardize my surgery or recovery? I am scheduled for a sleep test but I'm not sure if I will get my test before surgery ... then after surgery I may not need it ... help ~m

I do know if you do have sleep apnea you have to wear your CPAP or Bipap after you surgery.-Kitty

Hi there, If you have a good surgeon/after care hospital, they will know if you need extra oxygen. But, if you are currently sleeping with a cpap, they should make provisions for your current unit. I don't know what hospital you've sellcected, but just make sure they pre-op test you...then they'll know for sure what to look for! ps...I was sleeping with a cpap..pre-op, and never needed it post op!
