Hi Theresa,
I just want to wish you a smooth an easy surgery and recovery. You sound like you have been through the ringer thes past weeks. I feel for ya. BUT there is one thing that I hope will help put your mind at ease, and that is this; you have prayed to God to open the doors of WLS from the beginning. I firmly beleive that HE would never give us a gift that has bad strings attacthed. I am still in the process but He has been clearing the approval path for me quite nicely too. I said the same things as you like "If God get's me approved I will go for it" and I will. I have put it al in His hands as it sounds like you have as well. There is no need to fear when God has set it all in motion for you! I really hope this helps somewhat. BTW, my sister had the surgery about 9-10 months ago and she has lost approx 100 pounds, no complications. The majority do fine and there are alot less who have those darn complications. Just rest in the Lord. You will be A-OK!! I have you in my prayers as well as your family and surgeon. Cant wait to hear how well you are doing once you have been home for a few weeks! Hugs! <><
