Are there specific directions that should be included for a gastric bypass?

I'm just trying to tighten this up further. I do have store bought living will papers. I already have a durable power of atty. recorded in the county office and he has functioned that way for me for 2 years in legal matters. I have no father, mother, g'parents living. My 2 brothers live 900 miles away and can barely run their own lives, let alone mine. SO, I've learned a bit reading your comments here, but ...what is the line that is crossed when the living will is used? What about sitting there like a vegetable, conscious, but needing a feeding tube or respirator. I am NOT being morbid, since I live alone (I do have many friends) I want my durable power of atty. to know exactly what should be done and shouldn't in relation to this surgery. Any help from people familiar with this (attys., medical people) appreciated.
