Make sure you talk with your doctors about it! That could be a big thing for surgery
I did no cleanse, just liquid diet for a week to shrink my liver (makes for a safer surgery)
Good luck and hope you have a pain free surgery! If you have any questions feel free to message me!

I had sleep apnea and it did not affect my surgery. Before my surgery, I spoke with my Surgeon and Anesthesiologist. Mines advised me that it was his primary job during my procedure to ensure that my airway is open and I was breathing consistently. I was so nervous and he walked me into the room and showed me all the machines and how he would monitor me.

I would suggest speaking with your surgeon about your concerns. It will give you a piece of mind.
