Two weeks ago I finally got all my medical data and medical clearance all together after almost a year to the insurance company. My insurance approved me within' 4 business days. When my surgeon office called me I was excited and overwhelmed with the news. They said they were going to send me a letter. Last Friday I received the letter and it read that my surgery date is September 12. On Tuesday got a call from the hospital asking me to come in for pre testing. I asked them if I could go on Thursday the 6th because my job keep denying my days off. Finally I did everything and all I could do is think and dream about the sugery. I told my job (not ask or request) that I'am taking off for surgery and I got the forms from the human resource dept. for a medical leave and I dropped the forms at the doctors office. My family are so excited and they are even following my pre op diet also. They are so supportive! They said they are going to lose weight with me too! Yesterday was my last day of work and my co worker gave me this prayer for my sugery. I want to share it also for the others on this board that are having the surgery too...

PRAYERS FOR THE HEALING

WHEN A LOVED ONE IS ILL

God, my loved one is ill. I ask for your healing power to come upon them. You give us life and you have the power to renew life. I believe in your power to heal. Open my loved one to whatever form your healing power takes. And help me remember that, no matter what happens, you are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are always with us. Amen.

With God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

FOR MY DOCTOR

Thank you God, for my doctor. Thank you for his/her skills and training. Give her the insight he/she needs to diagnose my illness and determine the right treatment. Steady his/her hand and give his/her the power to heal in your name. Amen.

And all who touched him were healed. (Mark 6:56)

Good luck in Wednesday! It will be here quick. Sounds like a wonderful support system you have and that's half the battle. Congrats!

Hi Isla! I was just wondering how you were feeling and if you've heard any new news on another surgery date? I hope your feeling much better now:-)

I'm fine thank you for asking. I just returned to work on Tuesday and I still feel a discomfort on my upper abdomen area. I seen the cardiologist last week and he ran more tests on me and I'm going to see him on the 10th. On the 11th I'm going to see the surgeon again. I still can't believe what happened to me. Some people really think I did the surgey because I lost some weight. This time I'm not going to say nothing to anybody and just do the surgery. I' m only going to tell u and everybody else here in this forum. But will definitely keep you posted :-)

Good to hear! Keep us all posted! I'll be thinking about you.
