I was told if I have sleep ap that I would have to be on treatment for SIX months...

Before Kaiser Permanente would approve the surgery. Has anyone else had such an experience or heard of such a thing? I did the at home test last night and will hear today if it looks like I have SA (which 90-95% of MO's do, according to the technician) and then if I have it I have to wear a CPAP machine for 6 mos. Ugh. My surgery is scheduled for 4/4 and I don't want to wait any longer than that...any thoughts/ideas? If this is so, could I appeal to bypass this regulation and keep my date. Thanks in advance for your input...
