The emotional turmoil you're experiencing is perfectly normal. In fact, if you weren't a nervous wreck, I would be worried about you. This is MAJOR surgery and a life-altering event. It is nothing to take lightly. Even though your brain tells you it is the right thing to do, your emotions can run rampant after you have a surgery date.
For me, I basically went on automatic pilot after I received my surgery date. I had been expecting a much longer lead time because dictation was about four to six weeks last year. What I didn't realize at the time was that my insurance approved me in six days...I was expecting weeks. Then, when Leslie called me, she scheduled my surgery for nine days later. Whoa! I really had no time to mull my options. I had to get prepared to be out six weeks from work and I kept really busy.
Maybe you should just let things happen. Go with the flow. Don't try to over-analyze the situation. Try to concentrate on preparation...cleaning your house, preparing your house for post-surgery recuperation, getting work in order, preparing whatever legal documents you need, etc. Before you know it, the day of surgery will be here!
Try to believe in your good judgment. If you made the decision to go forward with the surgery, trust that now.
Good thoughts and wishes are with you. You'll be fine. You're in good hands.
