Is your surgery already scheduled? Does the sleep apnea need to be treated (mine was mild and the pulmonologist said since I was having the surgery, the weight loss alone should take care of it and it wasn't severe enough to be an immediate threat so I didn't need to go on a CPAP)? If it does need to be treated, you'll have to go in for fitting on a CPAP and monitoring again to make sure you have the correct settings on the CPAP for you. That shouldn't take long but if your surgery is scheduled in the next week or two, it could delay things a couple of weeks.You'll need to work that scheduling out between your surgeon and pulmonologist.

No it shouldn't effect anything other than give you one more reason for the surgery.
