Amen Lauren ! God has blessed me as well. I feel without God in my life I would have no life. I wish I could let everyone feel what I feel every day of my life. I am a born again christian and soon to be a born again skinny gal. I am not so much focused on the amount of weight I will lose. I am more focused on getting healthy. I am not in the greatest of health and I am only 45. I want to be around to see my grandkids. My life is in God's hands and has been in God's hands. I quit smoking after 16+ years , I prayed every single day for God to take the temptation away from me and he did. I quit 5 1/2 years ago. I have a prayer book I have started since I began coming to this website. I will add you to it as well. My surgery date is the day before yours. I will be praying for you. God bless!
Why is there such a strong, instant, emotional bond when you find out someone has the same date as you ? It's crazy ... we're virtual strangers.
But it's very true. All of us here, have made incredible friends, locally and nationally.
I continue to be amazed by the support I witness on this website on a daily basis.
May God guide the hands of our surgeons.
May our post-op lives be peaceful, happy, healthy and blessed.
Hugs, Kym
