I am also afraid. I finally got my date...December 19. I beleve this feeling I'd normal and we will make it through together. I've read, watched, listened, etc, just to learn all about the survey. I've even increased my life insurance policy...lol. I know this is the best decision for me because I'm tired of fighting with my weight and im tired of being FAT with NO energy. Good luck to all of us, just keep the faith.
