My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, 9/18. My husband had a horrible dream last night that I didn’t make it through surgery. The doctor came out and told him what happened and then he had to tell our children about it. It was a very vivid dream and has gotten him very uncomfortable and upset. Any words of advice or things I could do to help calm his fears would be appreciated.

It's just his fear showing up in his dreams. Think of all the wacky dreams he has probably had in this life that make no sense. Remind him that staying obese is a lot riskier.

It's a dream, dreams are visual manifestations of your hopes, fears, anxieties, or just things you are dealing with day to day... they mean nothing other than your brain is working through stuff. Tell him to chill out, you are at more risk staying overweight than you are getting the surgery.
