Here is my dilemma with sleep apnea, please advise

Fortunately, I've been approved for Roux-en-y. At the time of my initial consultation, I didn't show hardly any signs of sleep apnea, and a sleep study was not ordered. Now, 3 months and 10 lbs heavier, my husband says he can't sleep in the room with me because I'm snoring "like a freight train". I'm waking up all during the night and sleepy during the day. In the past 2 weeks, I've been waking up gasping for air and then I'm afraid to go back to sleep. My question is this: Do they need to do a sleep study now or do I just need to tell the dr and anesthesiologist when I see them right before surgery? I've already been approved, so is the sleep study for approving only or does it help the doctors in some way other than me just telling them I have it now?
