Hi there, I just want to say that it certainly sounds as though you're doing everything you need to be doing, and I hope it all goes smoothly for you and your husband. I think it's great that you're getting a 2nd opinion, if for no other reason than to have confidence in your treatment plan.
Your husband's opposition to a tube may motivate him to push himself to eat, so it could be a good thing. Since he'll have an NG tube post-surgery, there's no need to make decision right now about a long-term tube.
Good luck!
