Is there a problem?

Brandy,  the surgery did change my life.  However, just pray and ask God to do for you what He thinks is best.  When I attempted to have surgery the first and second times, I was denied.  Looking back, I know why now.  Several things happened and it would not have been good for me to have had surgery at that time.  God is so faithful and I know that He does things in His time if we let Him.  I know that you are going to be blessed so much by your Angel, Sandi and Julie and the group they have begun.  Brandy, know that you are in my prayers.   I am believing that God has something good in store for you.  

HI CARMEN,
I HAVE PRAYED MANY PRAYERS ON WHAT TO DECIDE AND GOD LED ME TO CALL AND AT LEAST TALK TO A SURGEON ONCE AGAIN.I WAS TURNED DOWN AS WELL THE FIRST TIME AROUND NOT BECAUSE INSURANCE PURPOSES THOUGH.THE DOCTOR AT THAT TIME TOLD ME THAT SURGERY WASN'T THE BEST FOR ME AT THE TIME BUT IF I WANTED TO TRY IT LATER I COULD( WHATEVER HE MEANT BY THAT I WILL NEVER KNOW)BUT I KNEW THAT GOD WASN'T READY FOR ME TO HAVE IT YET.THEN I WENT AND SAW DR.WEINSTEIN AND HE SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY WERE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE BUT THAT COULDN'T EITHER BECAUSE I LATER FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY 5TH CHILD.SO GOD DOES WORK IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS I KNOW.ALTHOUGH MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN A BLESSING AND I WOULDN'T TRADE THEM FOR NOTHING IN THE WORLD I KNOW I CAN'T KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS (BEING FAT)I DON'T LIKE THE WAY I LOOK IN PICTURES.I SAID THE DATE WRONG EARLIER I MEANT 28TH.THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS AND ACTUALLY BELIEVING IN HIM AND ME TO CHANGE MY LIFE IN SOMEWAY POSITIVE.I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN THE LORDS WORK AT HAND FOR MANY PEOPLE. I HAVE SEE TO MAY THINGS NOT TO BELIEVE.WHETHER IT BE A MIRACLE OR JUST SOMETHING THAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR A REASON.WHAT DOESN'T KILL ME ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER.



         GOD BLESS,

Hey Girl!  It's your Angel here....and no one's talking about you behind your back that I know of.  I haven't been on the boards much this week because things are busy at work.  As far as the next support meeting...you simply CANNOT miss it.  Julie said she would try really hard to be back for it, but even if she's not....I will come pick you up and we will go to the meeting together.  So you will get there one way or another.  Don't sweat it.  Us "Weigh Downers" have to stick together and support each other on and off the board.

Try not to take is personally when someone doesn't reply.  I don't always get replies either. 

Take care and I will see you at the next meeting! 

Sandi

When is your appt with Dr. Weinstein?  You typed Oct 8th, but that can't be right!  I know it's later in the month.  I need to know so I can make sure prayers are going out on the right day. 

Pray on whether you think this surgery is right for you.  You really need to be sure you are ready because it will definitely change your life in soooo many ways.  I can't tell you how much my quality of life has improved since I have lost 90 lbs.  I have more energy and less pain.

PM me that date!

Your Angel!
Sandi

Hey Brandy!! I am sorry I haven't posted back to you..my bad..we spend so much time together I thought we just talk!! lol This is such a hard time for me. I need prayers!! I am overwhelmed..the chemo was worse than I dreamed. Its hard to see someone you love suffer. I went to church last night. I visited one..nothing like our home church but I needed to go. After the day I had I needed to be close to my Father and let him have all this. Sunday I am going to Gardendale church to visit and Micheleluv has offered to go with. I am glad its hard visiting churches alone. Oh I know God is there but ya know... Call me I may be out of town but I'm here...

Hey Jules,
It's good to hear from you! I know we are all the time together,I know you are tired of seeing my face...lol.I miss you already but I understand mommaw needs you more.I am not selfish I can share....roflmfbo.Teddy has been keeping me up to date.I am sorry to hear about your BIL.I have been sending up prayers for you and mommaw.I have never been through anything like that.My family always has heart attacks or heart failure something that hits you fast and then its over.Is she doing ok with them though?I have watched so many people suffer so that alone can overwhelm you.My ex-FIL wa**** over the head with a hammer and we watched him slip into coma and was there at the hospital for a whole month we even slept in the waiting room for that whole month.I was very close to him.I also watched my now FIL slip before our eyes and he slipped away as you know 2 years ago.Just look at it this way you are very blessed to be spending some time with her.David and I didn't get that chance.All of us except David went to church last night and Teddy and I helped out in the kitchen.(Teddy did a whole more than I did!!!) It was so awesome I had a smile on my face the whole time.Some of us went back to group and to my surprise Jason was there.We were talking about regret.Pastor Neil was talking about some of his experiances with regret.It was awesome to hear.I told our pastor I am praying for him as well.I know each day I have grown a little closer to God because of all the church activities we have on Sunday,Monday,and Wednesday.I know God is with you every step of the way.You are one awesome person to be able to do this for mommaw and handling your own illness as well.Tell Micheleluv thank you for going with you and supporting you up ther for me.I know everytime you or David don't go to church I feel awkward.But I do feel God's presence so that's always comforting. Now I got my laptop you know anytime you need an ear to vent or anything just email me.I will be here.God is an awesome being!!!!!!    Prayers going up for you and mommaw 





With God's Gracious Love,
Brandy
