Anyone else ever felt like quitting before meeting with a surgeon?

Hi there. My PCP referred me to a surgeon at Stanford. I received the surgeon's paperwork to fill out (med. history, food diary, etc.) and the names of a nutritionist and a psychologist. I'm feeling that this "dream" to have the surgery will not happen, that I should just quit now and save the pain of being rejected. I've provided my weight loss attempts (Phen/Fen, meridia, diet shots, etc.) and a letter from my podiatrist regarding the heel spurs and other foot problems, but I just feel that somewhere down the road, I will be rejected either by the surgeon or insurance. I feel tired already. My weight is 235 with a BMI of 40.4. I guess I'm scared that if I really want something badly, that it won't come true. Anyone else out there ever feel like stopping halfway there?
