Ascending aortic aneurysm?

I have been told by 3 different cardiac surgeons that if they operated on me my chances of dying would be 95% and if I did survive I would be a vegetable. The following is a list of my ailments. Since they all belong to a major HMO I'm wondering if what they are saying is true or if they are just saying that to save the HMO money. I'm on Medicare and Medicade so I don't have money to get opinions outside of my HMO. Anyone know?
Congestive Heart Failure
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Ascending aortic aneurism of 5.50 CM COPD
Aortic Regurgitation
Sleep Apnea CPAP setting at 14 CM
Restrictive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Lower Back Pain & Sciatica
Major Depression/Anxiety/Panic attacks
Osteoporosis/Osteoarthritis

I was told that with everything combined surgery is out of the question and I should just enjoy the rest of my life.

Aneurysm surgery is very complicated and I don't think your heart could take it, nor your lungs for anesthesia.Unfortunately their opinion is absolutely right. Enjoy your life and do whatever you want.............
