1 week from surgery date

I changed my insurance from tricare to tricare prime.  My date is on the 8th, but I have to go to get a referral from my PCM this morning.  Having staph under my apron, I don't see him saying, "no".  I have to have a hernia repair eighter way.  I just hope to do both at the same time.  I do not enjoy surgery and this makes the 6th time I have had my hernia repaired.  I am type 2 diabetis, have sleep apnea with a CPAP I use every night, and disk degenerative disease in my lower back (L4-S5 area).  I keep getting staph under my apron caused by my 2nd hernia repair.  My hernia is so large it has thinned my skin to the point it has started ripping.  All of these WLS will take care of, as long as I take care of my WLS.

Woooo!! My surgery is on the 8th also. I wish you the very best of luck!! :)

Hello Friends,

Mqay your surgery be uneventful.  I hope you heal quickly and get to do all the things you love.  All those things that weight has kept you from doing.

Girl,

Reach out for Father GOD's hand and he will help you get through all of this.  JESUS is a deliverer!  Just pray and ask for help to get through all this!  Because if you don't have the strength GOD does.
I sleep with a cpap every night, my knee's pop everytime I walk, my stomach is so big it pulls on my back.  But you know what?  I still get up and give GOD the praise!  I go to church, I sing in the choir(which is one of my goals)  and I did it with GOD's help.  I have three grandbabies that keep me busy.

I'm not going to let this weight bring me down, and I'm not giving up!  The devil is a liar!

MsPrincess is sooo right!   The devil is a liar and one of his biggest weapons against us is DISCOURAGEMENT!   Start praising God and he'll run away.
