prayer requests for LBT'ers



Recommended Posts

Bumping :bump2: and also asking for prayer as my family is going to be making a huge move to OK within the next few months. Job change. The Lord always puts us where we need to be at the perfect time.

Much love to you Leatha. You are like a warm cup of Soup on a winter day. :) Hope all is well with you.

We are looking in the OKC area. I hear there are tarantulas & scorpions. My DW is not happy about that. :phanvan It will be a few months b4 the move is complete. Just pray that we will find a home and sell ours quickly.

Prayer request for my brother. He is a chronic alcoholic that needs to get into treatment asap. He is only 41 and is dying from the disease.

Hi Julie ~ I will be sure to pray for your brother to accept treatment. BTW, you are doing a super job with your band....very proud of you.

Please pray for my cousin, Donnie, in NC. He is in his late 50's and has been on life support the past couple of days. He was taken to the ER 4 days ago and they discovered a blockage from his pancreas to his liver. They discovered an infection in his pancreas. He and his family have a personal relationship with the Lord. We are praying for his full recovery.

Hi Paladin,

I'll pray for him as well. As an update, my brother entered rehab this a.m. He will go through detox for 3-4 days then he will remain there from 30-45 days. He is near deaths door so I really hope and pray it works out for him. Thanks for your compliment on being banded. I am really happy with my results and I'm looking forward to hitting my year in June. I'm hoping to be down another 15-20 lbs from where I currently am. Thanks again.

Wonderful news about your brother!! It will be a tough road for sure. He is lucky to have you there to support him. Keep us posted.

My cousin is doing better. Slow progress & he is still on life support. I guess his pancreas was full of toxins and spilled over into the rest of his body. Some people do not recover from this, but the docs seem positive with each passing day.

Hi Paladin, I have an update on my brother. . They ended up not keeping him the 30 days. He went through detox and they let him go. Don't ask me why. He is now attending AA meetings. Truthfully, I would be shocked if he stayed sober. But maybe he will. Its been discouraging to say the least.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
