Whatever you decide I wish you the best. I hope you try CPAP again while waiting for your surgery. You may not have any of the symptoms (neither did I except for the snoring), yet you seem to have a lot of apneas and that could be dangerous if left untreated.

By the way, if you don't have any of the symptoms, why did you have a sleep test done? Usually doctors won't recommend a sleep test if you just snore--there has to be some other reason that the doctor told you to have it done. (Mine was because my heart stopped beating several times for 2-3 seconds while I was sleeping when I was on a heart monitor for 72 hours). They wanted to rule out sleep apnea before they decided to give me a pacemaker.
