You did not answer my question which was,

Did the bloating only start when you started using CPAP?

Seriously, I see what Granny was after. If this started three years after you started CPAP, then it may well be that there is some cause beside the CPAP. I would go get the tests. Tell the anesthesiologist and the doctor about your sleep apnea and your concerns about breathing. They know how to kee...

Your wife, wonderful as she may be, is not a doctor or sleep specialist, let alone ...

I haven't had one since I started on CPAP but I ALWAYS schedule mine for first thing in the morning.

No one here knows enough about your condition or is medically qualified to answer questions like that. Make sure your doctor knows ...

do you think I should do the colonoscopy and upper GI endoscopy, I'm worried about the safety of those procedures. That has to be your choice but you know if you reduce/eliminate the opiates and the symptoms resolve then maybe those procedures won't be necessary. But if they are needed...there real...
