Go!

I think you should go.. As one writer mentioned, this is a milestone in your brothers life. I was back to work in one week and found that moving was the best thing for me. You will be making adjustments to eating etc whether you're home or not. If he died on his honeymoon you would never forgive yourself. (not trying to put a guilt trip on you, but I'm a realist) You won't be a burden if you do exactly as your Dr tells you. Be prepared for the worst, take pre-mixed Protein Drinks, gas ex etc. I'm sure they would rather have a smelly you then no you at all. Have fun, life is just beginning.

Thank you everyone for your helpful opinions! I decided to go with my gut feeling and not go. I just felt like way too many things could go wrong if I went. It breaks my heart not to go, but I'm such an emotional wreck right now they are probably better off without me there. There would have been a very good chance that I would have a meltdown. Several of you suggested that I retreat to my hotel room if I felt overwhelmed. That actually helped me to make my decision. My family rented a cabin, so there probably wouldn't be anywhere I could retreat to. :-P

Thank y'all again for all your support. I feel so much better now that I have made a decision and hopefully that will help me to heal faster!

One last update.

I'm really glad I went with my guy feeling. I ended up in the ER Saturday because of severe pain from my gallbladder. It would have been horrible to have that happen up in the mountains, five hours away from Denver.

I think you should go to your brother wedding. Just do the other posters said and ask for broth and take Protein Shakes
