I have severe central sleep apnea, fit, and eat healthy.

But due to genetics I got it at an early age. After high school I entered college and during my first year I became very tired and would sleep all day long and forget things easily. Simple math was very difficult, reading was not possible. My grades dropped from a 3.8 GPA average to a 2.0 GPA (15 credits all C's) average (my last term before I hung everything up for quits).

So I went in to the doctor, they ran some tests, nothing... nothing at all. Echo, EKG, labs... everything.

4.0 Semi target, 19 right now as a sophomore but I have to have surgery twice so thats why i will graduate late

Literally nothing to worry about, unless your surgeries can have debilitating impact on your ability to perform. You can easily spin your story to something like coming out with strong academic performance despite surgeries and present yourself as having more maturity than other candidates.
