Hubby going under knife...
My name is Nikki. My husband is having gastric bypass on 12/10. He is day 4 of his 2 week liquid protein diet. We just got his surgery date last Tuesday. It's happening so fast that I can't seem to keep up. I am very happy that he is going to get help with his weight, and he is very excited. He sees this as his 2nd chance to control is weight.
The thing is...I'm so scared. I know technology has vastly improved since these procedures began, but I still can't shake the fears that something will go wrong. We have 2 small children, and I'm scared of the unspeakable. Has anyone had the same thoughts? I don't like voicing them to my hubby because he always says, "Oh...I'll be fine." And I'm sure he will be. But is it unreasonable of me to have these thoughts?
Btw...has anyone out there done this pre-op liquid diet? What can I do or say to support him. He is sooooo cranky! Not that I blame him...I would be too.
PLEASE HELP!
