Hello!

First, sorry to hear about your sleep apnea.

Report what meds you are taking to your anasthesiologist, and make sure you let him/her know your concerns about the procedure. You don't have to go in depth into DP/DR obviously, but sometimes talking about it can alleviate some fears.

If it makes you feel any better, I got surgery on my hand in the beginning of this year, and the anaesthesia did not negatively impact my DP/DR. It was actually nice to feel tired that day. I got some good rest, and my brain got a break.

My thoughts are with you. I am sure everything will be fine. Enjoy the experience of going under. It's a legal, pretty safe escape.
