Sleep apnea

Did anyone find out tou had it right before surgery?

I had a sleep study and I'm afraid I'd need a machine but I feel like it would push my surgery back idk. I'm in the last two weeks before surgery and I just want my last two approvals already!

If you need a CPAP machine just bring it with you to the hospital. I was told if you don't have it and need one the hospital will charge you over 1,200 bucks for it. I use mine every night and feel so much better.

Thanks everybody I actually did have two different face masks and the nose kind as well I hated all of them I couldn't get past feeling suffocated while air was being forced in it was a constant state of panic causing me to rip it off the longest I ever left it on was about two hours and I wasn't able to even close my eyes let alone sleep the first time I had the Cpap part at the sleep lab in 2012 they sent me home part way thru I'm sure they were annoyed with me I can't stand anything on my face or neck don't wear scarves necklaces anything like that I dreaded doing it again for weeks this past sat I was supposed to do it again I get there and they say equipment isn't working so now I'm rescheduled for this sat
