Re: anestesia, surgery, OSA and central apnea?

I've had in and out-patient surgeries. I've been fine, even with my snoring/apnea, or at least, okay. They've never been worried about me, and I've been in about fourteen surgeries by now. I've also taken some pretty powerful pain meds (granted I'm very cautious with how much and how often, and only as-needed, except in one or two very specific cases where there was real, constant pain after major surgery). I don't really expect much to change, aside from telling my doctors/any surgeons, bringing my CPAP when I get it. But I really don't think much else will be different.
I'll take a look at that link when I'm awake tomorrow. Just in case any of it is a bit scary to read before I sleep.
