Stressed and need prayer
Take some very deep breaths, and blow them out through your mouth very slowly. I understand. I have been there many times, and totally understand.
Let me remind you of some very important Truths about what is going on in your life right now. First, God loves you very, very much. No matter what happens, His love never ends. Second, He knows about every single detail of what you posted about your job and the surgery. He's known all along. Third, God has this matter in His hands, along with every single detail of your life, inside and out. Fourth, He will take care of working things out for good. It may not seem good right now, but it will work out. Romans promises that. Fifth, He will provide for you and your family, no matter what happens with the job and layoffs. I know it's hard to believe, or accept some, or all of these things. But, trust me. Everything I have said it true. I have experienced all of it, including when it came to getting my surgery done. God worked out all the details in His time for His glory.
I had a rather emotionally stressful day today. Nothing as big as the scheduling of surgery and possibly losing me job. But, I am glad that God loves me and that He has things under His control.
Hugs,

Just to update- I did have my sleeve 10-29.As the procedure started the doctor found and repaired a large hiatial hernia.The bad news was a I woke in recovery with an elephant on my chest which lasted 24 hours and made me wish I were dead.The doctor told me that for some, hiatial hernia repair + GERD =chest pain. The good news is I had no incisional pain at at all and the doctor feels the repair may end the GERD.I'm still having some chest pain with swallowing,but, much much better.I'm not having any problems getting my protein and liquids in. I weighed 225 day of surgery from high weight of 280, so I was happy about that. I weight 226 today, I know it;s fluid weight. I'm not really sure when the I'll get under DOS weight,but, I know I'll get there .God is good! Thanks for all your prayers!
