Hello! did anyone felt a little bit guilty or concern pre-surgery?

I'm so confused right now, not knowing if this is what God wants in my life...it is difficult, because I thought that with diet and exercise was going to loose my weight, but I couldn't.

I failed so many times, I prayed about it, cried about it, and now, since I decided to get the lap-band, everything seems to be working towards the surgery.

Prayers will be appreciate it!

Yes I felt very guilty before and a little bit after surgery. I always struggled with me weight and I always wondered why God "blessed" me with weight issues. I was afraid to tell a lot of my church friends (who are all skinny, who always told me God made me beautiful, not fat) but when I told them they were even more supportive than my family. I'm 2 months post-op and I have lost 17 pounds, the most I've ever lost before was 12 pounds doing weight watchers 3 years ago (which I gained it all back, and then some). I know I couldn't have done it without surgery. I (and I'm sure you are too) did it for health reasons, not just cosmetic. This way I can live a longer, healthier life and spend more time on this earth being the best child of God I can be.

Best wishes and prayers to you.

I have felt guilty and selfish. I have prayed and prayed asking The Lord if this was ok to have surgery. My husband supports me. And my parents and in-laws support me which gives me peace. I needed help and I feel like Lap Band is a tool to do that job. The Lord has worked out the finances, time off work and more so I'm trusting Him. My surgery is May 9.
