It must be a miracle. I too have prayed about this over and over and am still praying--am I doing the right thing. My aunt told my to pray for an obstacle if this is not something that I should be doing. So far, barring one denial that I expected, everything is going smoothly. I have two angels watching over me, my mom and dad. Have you picked at date out yet? I wish you all the best. Jackie in DE pre-op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2000 Report Share Posted April 30, 2000 Dear Kim, Thank you for sharing your sweet and touching story. I will be praying for you. Only think thoughts of healing and visualizing yourself healthy and losing weight. My surgery was 1 10 2000 and I have lost 65 lbs and am feeling like a brand new person. I would do it again in a minute, because my health of in very serious danger if I hadn't lost weight. In fact I feel sure that I would be gone from this world today if I hadn't had my MGB and lost the weight that was killing me and obstructing my breathing so terribly. I couldn't lose even one pound before my surgery. All I did was gain gain gain. God lead me to Dr Rutledge through this list and I praise the heavens every day for this miracle of my new life. This is what I am praying for you and your dear family. Everyone will be praying for your complete success. Hold your head high and forge ahead. Love and Blessings, in Missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 Kim, our post was so special. Just wanted to let your know that I'm happy for you and I know that God is holding your future in his hands. I am in the same situation. Just waiting for insurance and like you I've just said OK God now it is up to you. Just give me your Grace to accept whatever your decision. Your letter was an inspiration to me Thank you Deb in WY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
