He went over a lot of potential negative repercussions. All very scary. Is this just protocol?? Just such a huge decision and I want to be under the right/best care. I will definitely tell him Lori from Benson said hello! Thank you @lori57216

Yes for the most part it's protocol. He's just telling you what to expect ( potentially ). As with any surgery there are risks involved and he wants to make you aware. The only negative thing I encountered right after surgery was my drainage tube in my neck became infected so had to be a guest @ St. Mary's hospital for another week ( 2 weeks total ). Oh and that J tube in my lower intestine for 10 weeks was no picnic either ( no pun intended).
