Hi Tracy
I had somewhat of the same problem but it was with my fiance he didn't want me to have my procedure Lap RNY but I knew in my heart and from praying that everything will be okay now that I'm 8 days out from surgery he has been such a great support and he is there for my apt. don't give up tracey I have had my surgery scheduled an cancelled 3 times before I finally got it done Good luck on your journey. I know that if this is something that you want and god agree's with then it will happen. Agian Good Luck!

As a leader in my church who is 9 days post op, let me share this word with you:
Matthew 5:30 (New International Version)
30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Our stomachs call on us to sin night and day. Its a voice that is never quite. It has caused to sin and form our body into a momument to food!
God says--that body is mine-- that sister is mine! He forgives us our sin and would not withhold anything we do that does not harm others to help us fight sin.
Be very careful when a church causes you to look to people there for answers, not His Word.
I Tracey, I just noticed your post, only wished i'd seen it before.
First, I hope you ultimately made the decision that was right for you. Second, I too am a Born Again christian facing weight loss surgery decisions. But, truly had already made my decision.
Because of my food weakness I became over weight years ago. But I recently began to take responsibility for my sin and for making such a diaster of this body He trusted me with. After seeking and receiving forgiveness I felt He lead me to WLS.
Like many have already said, it's all about what He has spoken to your heart. BE BLESSED
