Wake up Christians it is time to rally and support each other!

Hello I just found this board as well and want to share this exciting and scarie experience with each of you. Can all of you post where you are, are you pre or post op and your surgery date and if you are post op be proud for what God has done for you and post those last pounds! I am Shell from Indiana, I have lap rny scheduled Dec 5. Anxious and looking for prayers. I know this is where God wants me to go. I feel it. Then I rule out what I feel and worry about dying on the table. I am trying to give it to God forever. I am a SAHM and have 1 loving husband and 2 children (ages 4 and 1). I would love to pray for you. God Bless you all. Shell

Hello! I just found this board as well! I am located in the Minneapolis,MN area. I had a lap rny on november 4th. So far I am down 21 pounds! Before my surgery I was not nervous. I gave it all up to God. I put myself in his hands. I had complete trust in my surgeon & God to get me through my surgery smoothly & everything went great! I knew that God wanted me to have this surgery, I prayed about it alot, until I felt at peace about it. I pray that your surgery will go smoothly, that God will be your surgeons hands! God Bless!

Hi I found this board about two weeks ago glad to see so many more people coming here. I don't have my surgery until March and I'm having second thoughts too. I'm a nurse and when I first started researching WLS God placed several patients in my care who have had it some had bad experiences but would do it all over again. My assistant director of nursing had it done and is doing great. The doctors I looked in to and chose the one *****pairs the mistakes the other doctors do and he is recommended by the NIH as being the top doctor in the Baltimore area to preform RYN surgery I'll be praying for you.

Hi, Shell! Hope you're recovering well from surgery. I'm in Avon, Indiana, I had my lap rny on 08/19/03 at St. Vincent Carmel, and I'm down 65 lbs at last count. When I was waiting for surgery, and even on the day of surgery, I knew that I was doing the right thing. I wasn't worried about dying because I knew where I would go if things went bad and I didn't make it. I also made sure all my family knew that as well. I think that since they all knew how I felt, it made them feel more at ease as well. It helped that pretty much all my family is Christian, so they understood where I was coming from. I'm so glad to have found this board where I can feel comfortable posting my love of God without worrying someone will become offended. Take care and God Bless! Moysa
