I think it's pretty normal to have doubts before making such a big decision, but you'll be feeling better than ever in no time and those doubts will be distant memories. Good luck with your surgery!

I had to do this about two months ago and it was kind of bittersweet. On the one hand, it felt amazing that 90% of what I owned didn't fit anymore when just a few months earlier it had. On the other hand, it's frustrating to have a wardrobe constantly in flux. I enjoy shopping, so it's not some huge burden for me to have to replace things, but it is a little strange to have to buy things that you know are temporary and won't fit again in a few months.

The skin on my face was so dry a week after surgery that it was peeling. The second week, when I was getting closer to the amount of water I should have been drinking, that evened out. I'm almost 5 months from surgery now and my previously combination/oily skin is now just normal. My hair seemed normal at first but has seemed drier in the last few months. Hopefully everything will just even out after a while.
