I got my date Halloween (very nervous!!!!)

Hello everyone well it's almost here I was approved after my first letter to the insurance...I'm very nervous I know what to expect I've been attending support groups for the past six months. But I'm still nervous those of u who believe in God please keep me in your prayers....

I will keep you in my prayers! Don't be nervous (easier said than done, I know)! All will be well! What a cool day to start your new life.

Thank you soooo much I will keep you posted!!!!

Joanne, I have the same date as you for surgery. I feel kinda weird having it on Halloween, but as long as I have waited I guess I would take any date. Marla

Hi Marla thanks for sharing this information It's good to know that there's someone else out there with the same surgery date I will keep u in my prayers and keep me in yours and I will keep u posted!!!!!!

Joanne-- I understand about the nerves thing. I haven't even had the courage to give them the go-ahead to schedule. But I DO believe in God and in the power of prayer. I am adding you to my prayer list. Let God's peace beyond understanding envelop you. He knows our every concern. If He cares about the sparrows, how much greater does He care for you and I? God bless you, Sher Lo

I how Sher Lo thanks sooo much for your message I'm diffinitely trusting in God and I know he's see me through. Have u been approved? if so why have'nt u given them the ok to go ahead and scheduled your surgery? The longer u put it off you will still have the same feelings about the surgery just let go and let God take control. please right back!!!

YOU GOT 'EM, MS JOANNE ... YOU'RE COVERED IN PRAYER & RESTING IN THE PALMS OF OUR LORD'S MIGHTY HANDS ... NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, SWEETIE. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Thank u sooo much Dawn & Nick for those encouraging words it's good to know that when I go in the hospital I have others praying for me. I have just one dilema I haven't told my mother yet only my husband and my two daughtes knows. I mentioned it to my mum in November 04 when I decided that I was gonna do it and she wasn't pleased with the idea so, I didn't say anything else about it again......I'm gonna tell the question is when this week, a week before, or the night before the surgery???? please advise...

THAT'S AN EASY ONE, MS JOANNE. WHEN YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, JUST PRAY THAT GOD WILL PREPARE YOUR MOMMA'S MIND & HEART FOR THE NEWS YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE HER. IF YOUR COMFORT LEVEL ISN'T THERE, THEN ASK GOD FOR "THE PEACE OF JESUS" & YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW TRANQUIL YOU BECOME WITHOUT ANY EFFORT ON YOUR PART. IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE FOR MOMMA TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE, CONCERNED OR "NOT PLEASED". YOU'RE HER "BABY" & ALWAYS WILL BE; SHE DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO YOU. JUST A GUT FEELING, BUT I WOULDN'T SPRING IT ON HER THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR SURGERY. THAT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE DISRESPECTFUL & DOESN'T GIVE HER ANY TIME TO ACCEPT THE FACTS & BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR DECISION. IF SHE DOESN'T ACCEPT YOUR DECISION, THEN JUST LOVE HER & TRY TO UNDERSTAND HER & GO FORWARD WITH THE WLS FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH & THE WONDERFUL LIFE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY. ONCE SHE SEES YOU LOSING WEIGHT & BECOMING HEALTHIER, I'M SURE SHE WILL COME AROUND IF SHE DOESN'T BEFORE WLS. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
