I've got high blood pressure, borderline diabetes, COPD, osteoarthritis throughout, kidney failure, my cholesterol is high although I take Crestor. Those are just a few. You tell me what my chances are of dying if I DON'T have the surgery.

There is ALWAYS a risk of not waking up when you go under anesthesia, even for oral surgery and I go in next Tuesday for that. Do I need the statistics for that, too? I don't think so.
