Due for roux en y in March 2010 and getting NERVOUS

I have already done post of the pre-op tests (blood tests/bone density scan/g-scope etc) & now I am getting nervous as the time gets closer!They say you can lose up to +- 70 of excess weight-can one lose more?Has anyone started off eating a little & then forced size of pouch & putting back on?Any bad effects on the bowel movements?My husband thinks I am mad & thinks I will die-now he is making me worried!What period would one lose the most weight?Does it stabilise & then get stuck?Is exercise essential?Does your body feel & function normally (like before) or do you have days when you "feel" different in your body & think "what have I done to myself"?Anyone in South Africa who can help a nervous pre-op patient?Any comments would be appreciated!
