Surgery on Tuesday

Hi Everyone, This will be my last post before my heart surgery on Tuesday. I'm having a small hole closed. Today I got to see the device that they use and leave inside me. Check out the website, I'm going to be bionic. (http://) www. amplatzer.com/us/products/pfodemo.html I'm getting really nervous, I think more than before my WLS because I know there is more risks, not neccesarily with the procedure, but they have found out I have so many problems with my heart that put me at risk for stroke. Thankfully, the only not heart problem that puts me at risk is my weight...and as soon as I get this hole fixed I am getting onward with either a revision or being on the Biggest Loser. My mom gets here tomorrow, I'm trying to get my mind off surgery...for which I will be partially awake....just comfortable ...but my roomie is out of town and I just have my thoughts to keep me occupied. Please keep me in your thoughts, as some of you know I've had a pretty rocky health road, and this is just another bump I'm going to make it over! ~Sarah Margaret

You will be in my prayers for a smoothe recovery Sarah Margaret! Keep that positive attitude and all will be well. Hugs, Sallykate

Father God embrace Sarah Margaret in your arms. Let her feel your presence and comfort as she goes into this surgery. Grant her your peace and comfort. I ask for your hand of protection and guidance upon her and her doc and the nurses caring for her. May the surgery go without complications or adverse reactions to anesthesia or medications. I pray that Sarah's heart be strengthened and respond positively to this surgery, and may she heal quickly. Thank you for her sweet spirit and for her mom coming to help her. May she too sense your peace and presence. So we leave Sarah Margaret in your most loving and capable hands, and thank you in advance for answering our prayers for our precious friend. In Jesus' name, Amen blessings, Tami

Sarah Margaret, by your posting you must know that prayers will be going up for you from many directions. Feel safe and secure in the hands of the Lord. May you feel his healing blessings. Carol
