Has anyone had a sleep study scheduled POST-op??

Chris just had surgery on Monday, but shortly after surgery a Dr. who was observing him thinks he has sleep apnea. In a few weeks he wants him to have a sleep study. His surgeon doesn't require one pre-op. Isn't the timing kind of odd.....since he had the surgery and will lose the weight, won't these symptoms disappear??? And if they will - is it really necessary?? The Dr. doesn't feel it is severe, and a few of the nurses agree with his clinical diagnosis of sleep apnea. Thanks for any input! Patti
