HELP/Questions/Nervous/etc.

I am scheduled for Gastric By-Pass on 4/16/08. My mother had it done about 2 years ago, and is driving me crazy!!! She thinks I am not a good candidate since I am an emotional/compulsive eatter. I hate to admit it, but she is right. Also, even nervous about the 2 days prior to surgery with a clear liquid diet (can I do it)? Also, very nervouse about the cleaning out the system the night before surgery. When my mother did it, she was violently ill. After all is said and done, I still want to do this, but very nervous, that I can do it, and keep it off forever! Still thinking about my future since I am 34 about the vitamin absorbency, etc. Of course my surgeon thinks he is the best and this does not happen to his patients including the stretching of the stomach, dumping, etc. HELP!!
