My doctor says not to use CPAP after surgery-

He says it may cause problems with RNY gastric bypass where stomach is cut in 2 and sutured up. I have severe sleep apnea and had dangerously low oxygen levels during testing. DR says he will give me oxygen in hospital and at home and this will take care of it, but I wonder if I stop breathing, oxygen won't help if it can't get into my lungs. Any one experience the same situation?
