Need your prayers

Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!!!! My name is Julie. I am from Alabama. I am having my surgery in Mobile on January 3. I have no family support going thru this. There is power in prayer....right? Please send up your prayers for me. It would be nice to know someone is pulling for me, even if I have never met them. Thanks so much.............Julie

Julie, what a great way to start your New Year. In a few months, we'll be talking about how much better physically and mentally you feel, and how it was hard in the beginning but you're so glad you did this!..You are not alone, welcome to your extended "family"! There are thousands of us who care what happens to you..I pray you have a very quick recovery in the hospital. I cant wait to get on the website near the end of the week and read that you are home, you are okay, and on your way to better health!!! Donna

You are not alone, Julie! Welcome to the first step in the rest of your life. You'll be in my prayers -- all the best to you.

Julie, We are here and I pray you pull through with all the love and blessings you deserve, please keep us posted!!!!!! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS

Hi Julie. I am going to have a revision done tomorrow as well. I have been very apprehensive about it too. I know how much pain I am going to be in but I also know it is worth the pain. I know that God will be with us both. You are doing a good thing for yourself. I lost 80 pounds the first time and I can't tell you how much better I feel today because of it. I had the RNY and am being revised to a DS tomorrow. I know that revisions are riskier but I am willing to take the chance. I have been fretting for the past week about it. Then I looked up on my wall. I had bought a new devotional calendar for 2005 so I looked at the quote for tomorrow and it reads: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Phill 1:6 It made me feel better and it feels like God is talking to us through it. I send you my best. I pray for your swift recovery and rapid weight loss!! Pam Dunlap

Julie I hope you are feeling well by now even though I did not respond you should do wonderful just remember one thing everyday you will be closer to feeling really good about your self my sisters hate me and do not want to be seen with me since I lost weight. Their lost but my gain over their stupidity. Hang in there girl it will go fast you'll see. Debra Anderson
