Hi I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been reading the post here for about the last week or so. Thanks so much for the wonderful posts. I decided to have weight loss surgery 1 year ago. I developed a blood clot in my leg a year ago. I said, "This is it." Unfortunately could not have surgery because I was on blood thinner therapy for six months. I really didn't believe I would have surgery. I never thought I would be able to lose any weight ever in my life. Six months came by and at the center I go to there is 4 months of classes you must take. During that time I heard horror stories of insurance denial and of 1 year weight loss monitoring. Things happened very quickly and before the 4 months were over a letter out to insurance company was done. And I waited. I said to God, "If I am not to do this the insurance will not go through." Well, the insurance was approved in one week. I had lap band surgery. I was very impressed at the very little pain I felt after surgery I am a big big chicken. Weight loss has been slow. I have lost 30lbs in 3 months but I have lost 9 inches from my waist line. My clothes are falling off. I know because I had lap-band it may take 2 years to lose the weight verses the 1 year with Rny. I feel this is a 2 year journey I am taking with the Lord at my side. There are the hard days as well as the good days and I pray the Lord helps me. I am glad I found this sight. I enjoy reading the post. Blessings

Donna, CONGRATULATIONS! I know it is a God thing, I also asked God to close the doors if it was not suppose to happen. But God is good, all the time! Keep it up (or down)

May God bless you on your journey! Georgina

Welcome to the site Donna. We are glad to have you. I think you will find that there are some really awesome and enspiring people here who all love the Lord very much. It is a great place to come for prayer and Christian support. Feel free to post on the roll call everyday. That is how we keep up with each other and what is going on in our lives. George and Georgina, I never put you two together. I know I've looked at your site Georgina but I guess I never looked at George's. You guys do look like a totally different couple.
