Any advice on how calm my husband's anxiety? My DS (revision from rny 2012) is already scheduled for early Monday Jan 7. He didn't show any sign's of anxiety until literally last night. Tossed and turned leaving both of us restless. He didn't have any anxiety the first time around for me. And it is too late for any dr visit for prescription meds. I think he tried to hold out as much as possible thinking his feelings would pass. But as the day gets nearer it got to be much.I've tried to reassure him I am in great hands and I am doing everything I need to do to prepare preop. He understands I'm doing this (again) for my health, but since there is more risk involved, he can't help but feel overwhelmed. He's worried about the procedure, my recovery in the hospital and at home. My mother has taken time off from work to stay with us at home and help as well as be with me in my hospital stay. I am naturally nervous and excited, but at this point I'm more worried about him than my own nervousness!! I need some encouraging words for hubby.

I'm doing well thank you. Had a 4 day stay and still quite sore but happy to be home in my own space. Hubbies anxiety quickly faded after seeing me in recovery. Went straight to caretaker mode. I'm also grateful to my mother for being there the whole time with him/us then and now for emotional support. I can't wait to see my work in progress!!

My duodenal switch is scheduled for Jan 7th too!!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I also have BCBS IL and went thru the same thing. I started the process in Aug 2018 to have a revision from the rny(2012) to the DS. Got the denial letter stating I was denied because I showed no proof I had continued doctor supervision. My BMI was also under 50 but the letter made no reference to that being another reason. I actually had to send my copy of the denial letter to the doctor because the insurance was unresponsive to the request they made for their copy!! The doctors also set up a peer to peer meeting and that same day I was approved. My surgery date is set for Jan 7 2019. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
