(((HUGS))) I haven't had the surgery yet, so I can only imagine how nervous you are! 
Just try and think positive and think of the cute clothes you are going to be able to wear (and your shopping trip when you hit goal!), how your health will improve, how much more energy you will have, and all the good things that will come from the surgery.
I think you are totally normal in the way you are feeling right now and it's good to get all that anxiety out by crying and letting it go. My friend that had the RNY (back in march) said that she got some anti-anxiety drugs at the hospital when she got there and it helped calm her down a lot before she went in for the surgery. I think I will do the same and get those happy drugs! I've had two kids in the hospital and then my gallbladder out (abdominal surgery), so I have an idea of the recovery and what it'll be like. I think a lot of times with things, we make them out worse than they really are or will be. I'm sure you'll do fine!
Don't worry about the issues during surgery like the tubes and such, you will be knocked out and won't even know they are there!!
Good luck and just think positive!
