Tapping in...

Ok - you guys are some the most powerful pray-ers that I know, so I'm tapping in and asking for a few for my mother.

Several years ago, mother had RnY at Mercy and has lost tremendous amounts of weight.  Her blood pressure has gone from the danger zone to virtually normal.  Last year she had a lower body lift / panniculectomy / tummy tuck and the results have been incredible for her.  She is truly a new person from who she was such a short time ago.  She has been an incredible single mother for over 35 years now, and is my inspiration for so many things - including changing my life by having my own WLS.

Tomorrow she is going to have plastic surgery to remove the excess skin on her arms.  This is something she wants and needs to do for herself.  She's using the same surgeon as last year, and we are very comfortable with him, but I think that a few extra prayers from incredible pray-ers like this group could certainly help.

Thanks for your time and prayers!  I'll post up an update as soon as we know something late tomorrow or Wednesday morning.

Prayers headed your way.  I am so jealous that she is getting her bat wings removed!  Maybe someday I can get plastics.
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Hey John, I will be glad to pray for your dear Mom.  I know this will be so incredible for her and just give her that much more confidence in herself.  Do me a favor and pray for my sister Camille since she is having her VSG on Wednesday morning.  Thanks! -Amy

What a nice and thoughtful son!  I'll be happy to pray for your momma!  What an incredible lady to have raised such a thoughtful son! 
I hope she has an uneventful surgery and recovers quickly!
