Deaths in family--should I proceed???

The past few months have been horrendous--two deaths in my immediate family, a move, and job loss (LOVED my job!). My surgery date is coming up, and I've waited ten months for a date (only one bariatric surgeon in my whole state). If I reschedule, I'm looking at another long wait. However, I don't feel emotionally "up to it" to have such a drastic thing done at this specific time. I'm torn--I really, really want surgery, but my emotions and mental health right now are not exactly in the best shape. I'm grieving, depressed, tired--its tough to just get through the day. Maybe the surgery will make me feel better--or maybe I'll feel even worse, and that scares me. Any thoughts?? Thanks!
