My hubby is also the Nervous Nelly of our house. Remind yours that you've both been through this type of surgery before. Try to get him to focus on the future, not the present. What the two of you will be doing in a year, in 5 years, in 10 years. How does that future look without the surgery? Best of luck with your surgery!
Thank you for your words of advice. I will certainly talk with him so we can look at the situation from those points!!

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 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.
