I told my pastor
I was going to go see him this week but thought if I could catch him in his office before service, I'd go ahead. He was there at his desk. I can't remember word for word what I told him but I was affraid he wouldn't understand. I knew he wouldn't discourage me, but just didn't know. Anyway it went something like this "I have something I want to tell you & it maybe something you don't really understand or agree with me on." he said "ok" & I said "I've been checking into having GBS & I'm approved for it. I haven't scheduled it yet but hoping for late May." He told me that was great if that's what I wanted & not to worry about what ANYONE else said & that its my body. He also said he's heard some amazing stories about people who've had it done. He also said " & you'll feel healthier & so much better. The kids will stop running you around the house...you'll be running them!" It made me feel so good that he supports me 100%!!!! I also told him what I told ya'll in an earlier post about asking God for help & if it was meant for me, to let it happen. My pastor will be praying for me. I love my pastor so much! He's been the pastor at my church for about 3 yrs & has been at the hospital for my hernia surgery & for daughters tonsil/tube/adnoid surgery. I hope he is available to come be with us the morning of my WLS. Honestly I'm going to see if theres anyway possible for Dr. Whitehead to come to us before surgery & have prayer with us. Not sure if he can, but I'm going to ask. Thanks for the support all of you have given me!
