I have started to withdraw. I feel like I am curling up inside myself.

My surgery RNY Lap is scheduled for next week and as most people, have run the gambit of emotions from sheer delight, obsession, doubts, apprehension, each one I anticipated - but this one. I have started to withdraw. I feel like I am curling up inside myself. I have a wonderfully supportive husband, daughter (22) and 7 year old son, but I am finding myself pushing away - not being nasty, but distancing myself, like going into a cocoon. Anyone else experience this? With the risks of the surgery I certainly don't want to go into surgery with my family feeling alienated! - Help!
