Like has been said, first of all, forgive yourself and then take a deep breath. I can tell you, emotions run CRAZY while dealing with everything it takes to get approval for this surgery. You are going through a whole array of feelings, having your own load of questions and "what ifs". Your family loves you and doesn't want anything bad to happen to you - and in most cases what we perceive as lack of support, is really just their fears being vocalized.

Change isn't easy for some to adjust to, especially if there is a risk involved. Their reactions are normal for the most part - and honestly, so was yours.
