I have chosen Dr. Aceves as my surgeon and I am scheduled for January 5th. Deposit has gone through and flights are booked! Other than the normal anxiety and fear I am really struggling with family support. My father does not support this surgery and I was wondering how any of you dealt with a family member who was unsupportive? Are there any websites or aricles I could send him that would ease his mind? Keep in mind, I am young (24) and his youngest daughter...

My surgery is booked for January 5th 2013 and I booked my flights yesterday (short notice I know)!! Good Luck!

It scares him that I am going to Mexico, he thinks I am going to come back missing a kidney and full of infection. He also thinks now is not the right time to do it as I am under a lot of stress because I just got laid off. I think now is a great time as I can take my time to heal and focus on my recovery! Also I think a piece of it is that my Mom is paying for the surgery and they are divorced (they do not talk at all) and he has some issues with my Mom having some say over this area of my life and he does not as he is not in the same financial position that she is.
