any heavy smokers with sleep apnea

i know im gonna get scolded here, but i have to ask...i am a heavy smoker (yes i know i need to guit, i also need to lose weight..it aint easy) I also have severe sleep apnea and can not tolerate the cpap machine. My doctor warns me against wls due to the apnea. I guess my question is have any of you had these same problems and had a sucessful surgery?
