How does one get past the fear of having ANY bypass surgery?

Thank you this helped a lot! My biggest fear is not making it through the surgery. I’m a care provider for 3 members of my family. My husband is in a wheelchair with Muscular Dystrophy, my sister is developmentally delayed and my son is autistic. All which are stressers. If anything were to happen to me, they would have to be placed in a nursing home type of facility. I guess I’m going to have to figure out a way to get pass this fear. My insurance (Medicare) won’t cover the cost of the nutritionist either (450.00). I have never smoked a day in my life and have breathing issues. I have asthma and was given a breathing test. I was measured at moderate. Trying to figure out how since I have never smoked and if I have the surgery, will my breathing issues improve? So many questions. My apologies I’m rambling. Thank you for listening and the advice.

May I ask how many years has it been since having the surgery? How are you doing now? I’m thinking about having the sleeve. I should be a little more honest when I speak of my fear. My biggest fear is leaving my family. I’m a care provider for 3 members of my family. Husband has Muscular Dystrophy (is in a wheelchair), sister is developmentally delayed and my son is autistic. If something were to happen, they would end up in a nursing home.
