Role of husband post-op?

My husband is my best friend and main source of support. He is thrilled that I'm going to have WLS and willing to do anything to help me succeed. The problem, you ask? We have been trying to move "home" for 2 years, but he hasn't been able to find a job in his field. Now that my surgery is scheduled for August HERE, he has an offer THERE. He wouldn't have to start until after I was home from the hospital. Other than the obvious separation issues that anyone would face if he moves before the rest of the family, my specific question is HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE A STRONG AND CONSTANT SUPPORT during the first 6 months - year? I would miss him terribly regardless, but will I NEED him post-op? On the flip side, I am already stressing about groceries and feeding my family post-op and must say that not having to cook "real" meals would probably be helpful. I need some input from some of you have have been through it! Can I handle the changes, the new lifestyle, the emotions, everything! without him here? Thanks!!!!!
