Great Support Group!

Jun 11, 2010

I announced to my Sunday School class last week that I was having surgery in July, asking them to pray for me. One of the ladies in the class came up to me after class was over and asked me what kind of surgery I was having. When I told her, she informed me that she had lap-band surgery two years ago, losing over 160 pounds. That night, she introduced me to another lady in the church who had RNY last November. She had just hit the century mark that week. We talked for about 45 minutes. It was quite a morale booster. I had been struggling with the decision to have the surgery, but after talking to them, I felt so much better.

On Tuesday, a friend from work called to check on me. She had RNY in December and just hit her century mark this week. I told her about the women from church and how much better I felt about everything. It's great to have such a great support group. I have one from work, and two from church. Since that is where I spend ALL of my time, I think I'm covered. They can help me pick my sorry butt off the ground when I get down and discouraged. Isn't God good? "'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'." Jeremiah 29:11.
