I am right there with you! I also am having my surgery on the 11th and I am having so many things run in my head. I understand how you feel and I too have relied on my faith to relieve me of my fears. Before you know it your surgery will be over and you will be embarking on the new journey of changing your life. I wish you the best and remember God is in control, keep praying.

God Bless you and I pray you will have a speedy recovery.

I am right there with you. I will be in constant prayer for you tomorrow, that God will keep you sealed in his hands as you go through this day, and all the days to come. I am Grateful to God for giving me this website to witness to others of his saving grace and mercy, and how he has blessed me a thousand times over. The final decision is theirs, but it's our duty to plant the seed. At 11:00 I will bein my quite time with our Lord. and remember "JOY cometh in the MORNING"

My dear Carla...to God be the glory!

Thanks for the kind words and I too have that peace that passes all understanding.

My surgery is tomorrow at 11am and I'm thrilled that God has opened this door for me to experience newness in life with WLS.

God bless and I'll see you on the loser's bench.

Ms. Ronnie,
What a wonderously annointed Christian you are. Those beautiful words, flawlessly rendered are indeed the words directly from our Savior, Jesus Christ. He has definately used you, to speak to all of the people who are scheduled for August surgery's.This prayer has given me the "Peace that Passes all Understanding" that the Bible tells us of.
 
I am going to print this prayer and post it in my hospital room, so all of the staff can read it and know that they are being lifted up. I hope this is OK with you. Something this beautiful must be there for the world to read.

God bless you in your road to recovery, and grant you total success in your path to a new life.

Your Sister in Christ,
Carla

That would be great!  I don't need someone 24/7 just someone to go back and forth with a couple times a week!  Just to keep me hanging in.  I am so sick of the liquids....lol. 

My email is [email protected].  I am in Missouri.

Can't wait to hear how it's going for you.

Hi Cathy,
Not to sound stupid but what is a PATS test.
I'm not familiar with that term. Write me back and let me know.
Good luck to you also,
Carla

Hi Jennifer!

I'm fairly new to the site as well and only posted a few messages so far.  I'm having my VSG surgery on Monday as well!  Going through the nesting stage at the moment - cleaning house, throwing out the trash, cleaning out the fridge, etc.  I want to come home to a brand new start. :-)

Dealing with nerves a little as this will be my first major internal surgery I've ever had.  I totally trust my surgeon and I'm not afraid really, just nervous and can't wait for it to be over and dealing with whatever pain I have and working on my new lfe.

Definitely go read Ms Ronnie's lovely prayer for all the people having surgery this month.  It was beautiful and reminded me that I am not alone in this.

Good luck to you and everyone else having surgery soon.
See you on the skinny side! :-)

Hi,

I am also having my surgery on the 25th of August.  I am going to Michigan with Dr Schram,  have you gone for your PATS test yet?  I am wondering what I am in for.

Best of Luck.

Thanks
Cathy
