I put myself in his shoes and I wouldn't want him to go without me so I won't tell him no. I do get where he's coming from. I had my sleeve with Dr. Nicholson and they wanted to send me home sick as can be and he refused. I was so out of it from nausea meds and painkillers I wasn't really sure what was up. So it was good he was there. Well I would have a babysitter during the day in Texas. My son has autism and refuses to sleep if he's not in his bed or with one of us. Which we've been working on that but its one of those things you never know how any child will do. My mom helped with my last surgery but she passed exactly a year after it so we're just trying to do what's best. I'm ever hopeful I will actually have a babysitter come summer time. And we can just go to Mexico. They have answered my questions so much better than any doctor here in the states! Plus no reason paying more than double, the doctor obviously has tons of experience. I'm trying to talk a friend into going with me. That would be good because hubby could take care of our son and I'd still have someone with me so he wouldn't worry as bad. Thank you all for your help!!
