needing prayers

Hi everyone..Well first the great news  I have lost 135 lbs..since 4/30/07 when I had the best surgery in my life..the lapband..I was going to have the sagging skin taken off but that has been put on hold because I am scheduled for a complete left hip replacement on Aug. 11th at Hartford Hospital.by Dr Mark Shekhman..So please say prayers for me...Then I will be out of work 6-8 weeks but I will be able to walk, sit, stand and lay down without all this pain..thanks for being there  You folks are great.

Good luck, Joanne. My friend just had hip replacement 3 weeks ago. Her recovery has been amazing. 3 days in the hospital, 3 in rehab, then home. She is like a new woman. Prayers are with you.

First off congrats that's an impressive weight loss. Now here are my prayers for you.
I find out tomorrow if I will require surgery for a hernia that is up above the band. I have gained some weight  in the last month but I know it temporary. 
Good luck with that new hip, you will be up and running real soon!

Best Wishes

Don't you just love the lap band? May take uis awhile but it gets the job done.. I am sorry you have to have the hip replacement surgery but could u imgaine being 135lbs heavier and the effects it would have been being heavier and recovery time.. wohoooooooo for weight loss surgery. I will keep you in my prayers . I was so upset when I had to have shoulder surgery but u know body parts wear out and thank goodness we are able to have such surgery. It is simply amazing what they do for hip replacement surgery now adays I have been in OR in many of them and now a days they are even more amazing with the new technology.Best to you and congradulations on your amazing weight loss.Keep us posted
