Undiagnosed Co-Morbidities, especially CHF

I have only recently gotten insurance through my husband's employer. I've not seen a doctor in four years. I am I pretty sure I have congestive heart failure, edema, and apnea. These conditions have not been diagnosed or treated. I currently do not have a family doctor. Will this put my surgery back further? Will I have to go on medications before surgery and what kinds of testing should I make sure I get before surgery? Should I go in for a consultation with the surgeon before seeing other doctors? Or should I get a recommendation from the surgeon?
