Hey I was wondering that if anyone remembers or is awake at 630a friday (tomorrow) 7-25 if you could please pray for me. I am having the surgery and so nervous. my husband and 10 month old will be there with me.

thanks sooo much!

Consider it done... my faith is what sees me through everything in life and I know God has brought us to this so we can have an incredible chance a living the life we have always dreamed of. I think He also knows your fears and by posting this thread you will be surrounded by His love through the care and concern of others-prefect strangers like me-who understand and are here for you.

You are going to do beautifully, and remember that when you are scared or nervous, just ask to feel His comfort. He is there with you and will be with you through every single moment.

Your sweet husband and beautiful baby will be waiting for you when you get into recovery... no worries darlin' - you are going to be fine!

Good luck and GOD'S SPEED friend!!

:biggrin2:

thank you so much your words are a blessing to me!

No worries - I am here for you always and you can certainly send me a private message anytime. In the meantime though, may I ask your first name and where you are?? I want to personalize those prayers! :biggrin2:

What time zone?

You are going to do just fine, don't worry!

It's wonderful how strength comes from prayer. And you are in mine, and i'm sending lots of positive energies our way. Good luck with the new u.. Keep us posted. I get mine on aug 5th..

You got it! I go in tomorrow morning too...0730.

hey all! your prayers were very evident as I was nervous until 630 and then peace just rushed over me.. thanks so much.. which was a great thing since I had to wait two more hours for the doc who was late!

gas pain is terrible..please pray that it would subside soon..

thanks so much and blessings to all of you!

lacey how are you doing?

I just saw your post, but I'm glad you did well with the surgery. It's so great that you could get the prayer support you needed. I'm praying for you today. The days after surgery were more difficult than I had anticipated.

How are you doing? Is the pain getting better. Let us know memom

hello all,

I am 5 days post op and still dealing with gas. I guess I didnt expect to still feel crappy on day 5. its the worst in the morning.. times like right now where I am choking down tea to try to start my day. I hope this is gonna be over soon.

blah!

HI there! SO great to hear from you!! I'm sorry that you are still not feeling great, but consider that it really IS a short time since your surgery. Be gentle and kind and understanding to your body - it'll get better. I've read quite a few stories on here from folks that are hurting and dealing with the gas days afterwards - most say that moving/walking helps. I think I am going to try and get some extra days off of work myself. I have surgery on the Wed and was planning on working on the Mon following but we'll see. Just keep moving and don't give up. A young lady that my husband works with had her band in March and she still has a tough time with tightness in the mornings - OH - I also read that it can get tighter if we don't hydrate enough so keep on sippin' sister!! Hang in there and keep us in the loop!!

Lots of luv & hugs..

Stace

New2me, how are you doing today? I had the horrible gas in the left shldr for a couple of weeks. Each day did get better as god made me stronger!

Stace, what date is your surgery? I can tell you have such peace about your decision and the faith you have is awesome! I was supposed to go see my psych therapist next week for the 1st time, but God is my therapist 1st so I don't feel the need. She is a Christian so I will move my apt to next month and go from there. Our father keeps assuring me so I'm at that peace as well with my progress so far. He is awesome!!

NeverB4, THANK YOU! The Lord is my strength too and has given me some incredible life lessons and AMAZING gifts, including the opportunity to have this surgery. My faith is my guide.

New2Me, how ARE you!?! We're all hopin' and prayin' that you are feeling better now...

As for me, I'm getting SO excited... Aug 20th is my date! I start the LSD pre-op on Monday and as luck would have it, my Unjury Protein package came from the US today - which was SUPER fast, I just ordered it last week!!

Can not WAIT to embark on this new journey!!

:thumbup:

Hi everyone.. I am feeling better.. the gas is hardly noticible now.. it only rears its ugly head once and awhile.. I lost 11lbs in the first week since surgery so the doc progressed me to mushies cause I am Breastfeeding too! I think they felt bad for me

My only isssue now is I am doing things too early because I feel better. (like picking up my daughter) but I am trying not too.. cause I pay for it later.

Stace, I havent forgot about you.. sorry I havent written you.. but I am camping with my husband and baby and I just found free wifi.. at the camp store.. I was afraid I would miss your surgery date before I got back but I see its the 2oth, just wanna make sure I pray

ok all.. back to the lake and the tent.

blessings:biggrin2:
