My surgery is a go for this Friday at 12:30pm. I was able to come up with enough with the help of a very wonderful friend and spoke with the hospital this morning and they said they would take what I have and I can make payments on the rest......

 

I am so overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion......this is a good day!

 

I want to thank everyone who prayed and sent best wishes to me. We have all experienced negativity plenty in our lives and to find a place where I have been met with nothing but support and understanding is amazing. Talking with many of you has been such a wonderful part of my beginning steps toward my journey and I am looking forward to really getting to know you guys.

 

I want to say a special thanks to Diane, Kab, Dee, Diva, Wearyourpassion, Roe, and Glenda. You guys helped me get through these last several days with the encouraging words and messages sent. Diane you are truly and angel. God has blessed me with meeting you wonderful woman on here and I can't thank him or you enough.

 

DID I MENTION.....MY SURGERY IS A GO! GOD IS GOOD....thank you for helping me help myself :Banane44:

    CONGRATULATIONS THAT IS THE GREATEST NEWS.

    I know how you feel. I had been researching lapband and gastric bypass for about 10 years and every time there was a big roadblock. Finally in July, my husband said we will just pay for it if necessary. I bless him everyday for helping me. He is so supportive.

    GOOD LUCK ON THIS NEW JOURNEY.
