Finally convinced hubby to get surgery,but I need help comforting his fears

I finally convinced my husband to get surgery. He has medicare and qmb. He is 400+ pds and is 6'0" tall. The only draw back is that he is afraid of the surgery and now his family members are trying to turn him against it. We have 3 daughters ages 6 (twins) and a 2 yr old. I told him if not only health reasons do it for the kids. He constantly complains about not fitting in seats,not being able to walk ( like the zoo). How can I help calm his fears? Am I doing the right thing by supporting his surgery. Everyone tells him he could die,but without the surgery he could die too. Any help is appreciated!
