HELP!!! PRE-OP JITTERS?

OK, call me NUTS!!! My surgery is 19 days away and all of a sudden...BOOM...I am questioning the type of surgery I am having. My surgeon has suggested what he has called Proximal Gastric Bypass-VBG. This is not the only surgery he does and he has reviewed my diet history, my life-style, my age...etc. and feels this is the best surgery for me. (I trust his choice.) Now here is the problem...maybe pre-ops shouldn't read the POSTS because after reading several posts about VBG failure in the archives I am seriously depressed...I dont want to go through this and FAIL!!! I have read about how VBG is a dieting tool and exercising is so important. If I had EVER been succesful at dieting and exercising would I be at this point in my life, about to have surgery? So what I am asking is for people who have had successful VBG to please EMAIL ME LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW...I am in serious need of some positive reading material! Maybe its just the Pre-surgery jitters...I hope so!!! (((((hugs)))))
