One Day To Go.....keep Me In Your Prayers

By Smilecharmer

· 666 views

As I write this, I have so many thoughts going through my head. The one thing I am not, is scared and fearful. This is the first surgery I have ever had and feel like it is one ot the best choices I have ever made for myself. I have the weird thoughts about what if I don't wake up, but my mind tell me this has been done so many times and so many people have had such great success, that GOD will make sure I am in that number to.

 

This forum has been so helpful to me. I have learned alot and know there is plenty more to learn. I read blogs some make me laugh and some have even had me in tears. While on this journey I plan on making it a positive and motivating journey, not just for me but hopefully for some of you as well.

 

I will always remember the "Big Girl", but I am ready to embrace the skinny girl with open arms.

 

Keep me in you prayers and, I can't wait to be on the loser side. Good luck and prayers to all the future sleevers.

    Good luck! I will say a prayer for you! <3 Some people wake up feeling great..I was not so lucky, and said multiple times "what did i do to myself?" If that thought (and i pray it does not) comes to your mind..please intercept it with the FACT that it is SOOO worth it! Nothing worth having is easy to earn!

    I love your spirit. If God leads you to it he will definitely bring you through it. I will say a prayer for you tonight. Please keep us posted on your progress. I'm still a couple months out so I'm going to need you to return the favor to me with prayer. I share your same feeling. I'm at peace but still nervous about "what if" I don't wake up; we're only human. We have to know that we are entering the operating with God and his angels looking over us and the hands of the surgeons working on us...
