I need help with NaySayers!

I am in the beginning phase of WLS. Have an appt on March 10 to get things going. Hoping for Lap RNY as I am over 100 lbs overweight. I am having a hard time with my Dad and Stepmom of all people. My Dad is scared I may die and sees it unnecessary to take an ELECTIVE surgery. My stepmom is scared I may die and she may have to help raise my children..whether it be finacially or being a caregiver. I am married but they don't see my husband capable to raise my children on his own. I am 35 and don't need permission, but I would like to have more support from parents than this. Nothing I seem to say changes their minds. Any suggestions?
