Regrets
From what I heard nearly everyone has buyers remorse at some point. But you have to remember that this cannot be undone, and that it is for the best that you keep going.

Newbie waiting on mental health appts!
Mine was 165 questions, all true/false. I'm the only person I know who didn't pass the first time. At the time I had untreated anxiety and depression issues. Just go in with a positive attitude and you'll be fine.

4 Days to surgery and I want to eat
FOUR MORE DAYS! How much more encouragement do you need? Lol jk. But seriously, we're almost there, no need to risk it now, Munch on a Popsicle sip some Soup and this phase will be done before we know it. Keep your mind busy. I think I'm a little bit fortunate with the preop diet. I quit smoking recently and learned manage those cravings. Now I have this tossed in also, but it's the same principal, change your routine, keep hands and mind busy, and deep breathing exercises.

Most hospitals have a payment plan. You need to talk with your surgeon or hospital about it
