Default Worries preparing for Surgery

My surgery date is a month away and the closer it gets, the more anxious I feel. I have two year old twins and an 13 yo ds. I am the twins day and night. We are hardly ever separated. (DH is active duty so he isn't home a lot. )I think I can go without picking them up until the okay is given by the doc. I am just worried that I won't feel like taking care of them and cooking for my family. I love to cook and bake for them.
I am having an open procedure. My doc doesn't do lap procedure b/c he takes out your gallbladder too. His complication rate is .01% so I feel comfortable with the surgery. I also have heard nothing but good things about him.
I think I just need to be sure that my family will okay. I have had an emergency c-section, so I guess my pain won't be any worse than that...I recovered quickly with that. (It was no cakewalk for sure) I guess I just need to hear that it will be okay and I still will want to cook after I recover enough do that.
Thanks for reading this. I know that my decision is the best for me and my family, it is just hard now getting prepared.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
