If you don't have any other coping skills other than comfort eating, and if you don't fully understand how your life is going to change or if you're not prepared for that, then you're right, you're not ready for surgery. Don't rush into this. There is no shame in holding off a while if you're not ready now. If you're not adequately prepared, then you're not as likely to succeed. Either work hard between now and then to get ready, or give yourself more time. If you need to develop other coping skills besides comfort eating, consider seeing a therapist.
As far as the liver scan thing, I didn't have one and don't know anyone else who had one, either.
