Well, good that you had the sleep study done now. My surgeon wants his apnea patients on the CPAP machine 4-6 weeks prior to WLS. I also did a PFT, took a diabetes screening blood test, and had an EKG. Do you have a surgeon yet? He/She can tell you what tests should be done. You will also need to get insurance approval. Good luck to you.
