Surgery tomorrow and I can't stop crying...

My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:45. My husband just left to take our daughter to my friends house for three days who lives almost two hours away. I have never been apart from my daughter who is almost 4 yrs. old. Not even with babysitters! The separation is already killing me. I've prayed so hard for their safe journey and for her emotional and physical health while we are apart. But the house is so quiet now. They even took the dog... So, I'm all alone for the next 4 or 5 hours. I just can't believe that I got myself into this position. I'm 400 lbs. and now I am almost forced to have this surgery. But it's such a disruption from normal life. Separation, pain, loved ones having to worry. And Satan is attacking me from all angles. How did you all handle the separation from your kids? I feel so guilty putting them through this just because I couldn't stay away from sweets. Please pray for me and my family. We love JESUS and we know we're in his hands but it is still so hard. I'm scared... Thank you.

Lynn, I have just said a prayer for you that the Lord would strengthen you at this time. I will keep you in my prayers for tomorrow also. Just think how wonderful you'll be feeling next week at this time...then in one month...then next year at this time. The Lord will have given your little girl a renewed mommy! Be Blessed in His presence! God Bless! Cindy Snyder: Pre-op; RNY-10-17-05; 435 lbs.; BMI-74.7

Hello Everyone! First, I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers and encouragement. I made it through the surgery. I guess all is going as planned. Lots of pain. While I was alone I prayed so hard and so loud to Jesus and he calmed me with his promises. I asked him to be with me during surgery and stand to the side of the operating room watching over me and he said NO, he would not just STAND there watching over me but he will be HUGGING me and HOLDING my hand. He is so loving and I am so happy to be a Christian. You'll never know how much all of you on this Christianity message board mean to me. Thanks again. Your friend in Christ, Lynn M. [email protected]
