The results of my sleep study showed mild sleep apnea. The mild range is 5-15. I scored 6.5. My surgery is supposed to be in 2 weeks but I don't know if they'll make me treat it first. Anyone know what range of apnea they require CPAP treatment for? Is it possible I'd still be approved for surgery since it's such a mild case? The sleep clinic said it will more than likely clear up with weight loss. Thanks for any info you may have. I just don't want to wait the long holiday weekend without an idea since I won't hear from my surgeon until next week probably.

Thanks everyone! My insurance doesn't cover the surgery so I'm paying out of pocket though I did find a great deal at a reputable hospital near me. So I don't have to worry about insurance approvals which has been so nice! When the sleep clinic called me with my results she said I would benefit from treatment but their first available appointment is the end of March! Ugh! She also said since it's so low I'd probably be fine for surgery and that it would likely clear up after losing 10% of my weight. But it's not up to her. So fingers crossed my surgeon approves the surgery without requiring cpap. The surgery was supposed to be in December so I'm just anxious. I'm so ready!!!
