Will I be able to breathe ok during surgery? May have a diviated septum.

I have always had breathing problems and have been told that I have a diviated septum. For example, you know how in the movies when people get gagged they have to breathe thru their nose? If that happened to me I would suffocate. I have a really skinny nose and my airways are always somewhat or completley blocked so I rely on mouth breathing for deep full breaths. I'm worried that during surgery I won't have enough oxygen. Can anyone relate? Thanks
