has anyone with severe asthma had this surgery?

im having rny on 10/30/00 and am getting nervous because i have severe asthma. i couldnt even get thru the stress test because of it. i couldnt get my heart rate up enough for them to see anthing, so i have to go for a 2 part test, where i will have an iv , and they will manually get my rate up so they can test my heart. i guess im just afraid i will be on respirator after surgery, and i am relly afraid of that. my surgeon said i probably will have to be in icu for a few days after the surgery so they can watch me. anyone gone through anything similar? please help? thanks, joyce
