In weighing the risks and benefits of the surgery, I came to the realization that this was God's will for my life. Hence I knew that I would have a better chance of surviving the surgery than surviving without it.:)

Hi Desi,

My prayers are with you and I know you know we serve an awesome God who loves us more than we can understand, and I know for me I need to totally trust and rely on Him. He will be right there with you every step of the way. We pray for wisdom and complete understanding for those involved in your surgery and recovery. It is scary going into surgery for the 1st time I know that. I am not banded yet but hope to be by the end of March. This will be my 3rd surgery. My last surgery I had a Christian Dr. and I asked her to pray with me before surgery and she laid hands on me as did the physician assistant student. It was so comforting and I was not afraid at all. I wish every Christian would be able to have this experience before surgery as it was a terrific blessing to me knowing I had a surgeon who worships the same God I do!! Let me know how you do and I will continue to pray. Blessings and Hugs, Deb :angel:

You will be in my thoughts and prayers - as hard as it is - try to relax and know that many/most of us have been through exactly what you are going through emotionally and had the surgery. I was most surprised it wasn't as bad as I expected and believe me I was petrified - almost cancelled a few days before and the day of! You will be a little sore/uncomfortable and may wonder what the heck you have done -but I promise it won't be 'as bad' as you are probably imagining it.

Desi,

I am 48 years old and have never been in the hospital, ever! Don't have kids, still have my tonsils, everything intact. So I was very nervous, like you, about my first surgery. I came through with flying colors. The hospital staff was incredible and I felt absolutely comfortable from the moment I walked in there until the time I walked out of there.

I realize everyones experience is different but mine could not have been better. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted on your progress.

Here's a "virtual touch" and agreement with you that you will come through this surgery without complication and minimal discomfort. We further agree that this procedure will help you accomplish your weight loss goals and improve your health so that you may flourish and enjoy all that you have missed in your life before now due to your weight.

My experience on 2/27/07 was not at all bad. I did not have any nausea, no tubes in nose and I was walking an hour after surgery. Post op pain is there but not bad. A few days after surery, I got the left shoulder/neck gas pains which were the worst of the entire procedure. But I still went back to work 4 days post op

Hi Everyone,

I've absolutely fallen in love with a lot of you and have kept you in my prayers as you go along your journies.

My surgery is March 12th and I've never been in the hospital for anything since the day I was born and that was 36 years ago :)

Please say a special prayer for my safety and recovery. The Word of God says when two or more agree as touching anything, He is in our midst. I truly need and ask for your prayers.

Love You all to pieces!!!!!

Desi

:amen:

Desi,

My prayers tonight will include you. Best wishes.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
