Any denture wearers out there? I have questions. [View all]

On Tuesday I will be getting my teeth extracted so I can get dentures.
It's been a struggle with my teeth for a few years and it finally came to this.
I want to know many things about dentures. How long do they take to fit right?
Can I eat most foods without slippage? Should I remove them while sleeping?
What about care and cleaning of the dentures?
Any information or tips would be appreciated.
I'm nervous about being toothless.
