I realize that the context of James 5:16 is in relation to the sick individual (patient) seeking prayer from the elders of his or her local church. I do firmly believe that the "...effectualy fervent prayer of a richtous man availeth much." James 5:16 I am looking to establish a small subgroup of individuals in the ObesityHelp.com webpage committed to prayer on behalf of individuals looking to have surgery and who are or have had surgery. I believe that God is the God of all comfort. (2 Corinthians 1: 3-7) I also believe that God gives comfort so that the individual who experiences that comfort can in turn comfort others. Please let me know if you are interested in this ministry (service of love). In His Love, Bruce B. Campbell, RNY (Open) gastric bypass surgery 10/3/03 [email protected]

Hello everyone! I am new to this group and I am glad there is a Christian segment to this site. I have my WLS scheduled for 7/16/03 in Chicago. What is the best amount of time to take off from work after lap RNY? Take care, Marcy
