Do I need my husband to sign or approve anything for my surgery?

My husband is so opposed to my having the surgery. He thinks I should loose it on my own. He is worried, about my rearrangement of my intestines, and the risk involved with the surgery. I know he does not want to loose me. He began with the "NO YOU ARE NOT HAVING SURGERY" to "I can't believe you are going to have the surgery" Last night we were at the grocery store and he picked up some beef jerkey, and I mentioned I would need to eat high protien foods like that, and he's back to "You Are Not having the surgery" Sigh... I'm wondering if I need any kind of approval from him, by way of signature before I have surgery? This is very upsetting. I spend hours reading this board, and I'm in the process of getting all my records in order and my letter for the physician. I won't have my 1st consult until Nov. 26th. This is very emotional. It would be so much easier if I had his support. I feel like I have to sneak around to research this.
