Sally <p> Your heavenly father loves you UNCONDITIONALLY. Although that may be something totally beyond our understanding, it is true. Trust in his love and turn to him now, just as your heart is telling you to... <p> I look forward to your updates, and I hope all the best for you...

Sally, You have a friend in Naples,Fl. I have a BMI of 67.5 and weigh 431 lbs. I know what you are going thru. I have lymph edema with fibrosis in my legs and go 3 x a wk for therapy and wear compression bandages on my legs everyday. I have shortness of breathe and fatigue,knee joint pain and incontinence and lower back pain. I share your frustration of an ordinary day. I am on SSI and can't do much anymore. I worked for 26 yrs and loved it and now I find it a real chore to get the smallest thing done. Our God loves you and that love is unconditional. We don't earn it, its a gift, from Him. Your friends do things for you because they want to. Let them. Its their way of expressing their love for you. I have found in life that things go in cycles. Right now its your turn to receive. You will be a giver when your health is restored to you.Stay in touch, I think we can be a blessing to each other. Leslie

Sally, I am so happy to hear your date is getting closer. I don't feel that you have to be in church every Sunday to believe in god. I do know our god is a very loving god. Ask and you shall recieve. You deserve it. I wasn't afraid until after the surgery when I realised what could have went wrong. I had prayed about it and asked god to be with me and I will pray for you too. You deserve this your post make me cry. The life and pain of not being able to do just the simplest things that many people take for granted. I am 11 weeks post op and would do it all over again. I have more energy and take better care of myself. I take my vitamins, amino acids w/proteins, calcium and vitamin C faithfully every day. I am more aware of what I put in my mouth and for the first time in my life I don't crave anything but a health life. This will all come for you Sally. I am praying for you!!!! Take care and God be with you.

Sally: I have the same feelings going thru the waiting and what-if's, but for me I guess it comes down to which would I rather go thru.... laproscopic WLS or possibly a heart by-pass within years - I chose WLS. I keep all the WLS members in my prayers daily and even though I've never seen him I know he is there and hears all our prayers for each other. God Bless and keep posting your progress....

SALLY~~ IT'S NORMAL TO BE SCARED... BUT, IT'S GOING TO BE OK... May you always have an Angel by your side..... Watching out for you in all the things you do...... Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days......Finding ways for your wishes and dreams to come true......Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun.....Giving you the strength of serenity as your guide......May you always have love and comfort and courage

Best wishes and extra prayers for smooth surgery and recovery. A positive mental attitude is your best preparation! You'll do great with this life-saving tool! Have faith sweetie; that's the answer to the nerves. Be the strong woman you always have been and have faith in your decision. The stress test isn't that bad, even to the warm flush. You KNOW you can do this to get your life back. We KNOW you can do this and you will have SO many people praying for you! (((((hugs))))
