Prayers needed



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have never posted on this thread before but thought I could come here for some help. I am being banded on March 14th, 2008. I have decided to only share this with my husband. Normally, I would have the prayers of family and friends going into surgery that day, but I don't this time so I am here to ask for some prayers. I have 2 little boys and I am basically doing this for them, but I sometime feel like what if something happens and I made a huge mistake? So I am asking you to please say a prayer for me for my surgery. Thank you!

Hazel...got you wrote in on a post-it on my computer for the 14th. Take some time for yourself b/4 your surgery. Get rested up, go for lunch with a friend, get a manicure, etc. Good luck and God bless

You are in my prayers. Take it from a person that has been through this surgery TWICE, you will be just fine. I am 4 days out and doing great. We all had the same emotions like am I doing the right thing, etc. Always remember this... "Heal me, O Lord, and I WILL BE HEALED; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." Jeremiah 17:14

In Christ,

Thank you all for all of your support. It was defintely hard with only my husband supporting me for this so I am very grateful that I have all of you saying a little prayer for me on Friday! I am starting to feel better and I am hoping I transition well into my new lifestyle. Yesterday when my husband and kids were having dinner I was wondering what I did to myself but I am staying positive and remembering that this will all be worth it. Thank you!

I didn't know this thread was here. Boy do I need this. I am scheduled to be banded on Easter Monday, March 24, 2008. I have to be at the hospital at 9:00 am and my surgery is at 11:00 (kind of like going to the airport). I'm joking, but I am terrified. I am a single parent of a five year old. I am the only parent my baby has. This is why I decided against gastric bypass four years ago. It was just not worth the risk. I know that lab band is soooo much safer and that my doctor is very good and teaches other surgeons how to perform this procedure. Still I am nervous. My stomach is doing flips. My heart is pounding. I need this procedure, but more than anything I need to be here for my baby. Please pray for me. Please.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
