Can I get approved and a date set for WLS BEFORE I am actually dx'd with Sleep Apnea?

I *KNOW* I have sleep apnea and I know I would not be able to bear a CPAP for anything! I am extremely sensitive to anything touching my face when I sleep. Since WLS can improve my apnea, why go through the torturous testing? (sounds like torture!) So, has anyone else been approved for WLS with a comorbidity of "indiagnosed" Sleep Apnea? Will a doctor diagnose based on what the patient describes?
