Hi Gary, I want you to know that sometimes we KNOW what we are supposed to do. It sounds to me like this is one of those times. Keep your faith and stay close to God, He will lead you down the right path. Best of wishes to you. God Bless you on your new journey.

Hi, Well there has been a BIG change in my WLS. I have decided not to have it done. Well not for now anyways. The surgery has been cancelled three times on me. Many of my family members and ALL my friends and coworkers are telling me not to have it done. Many of them know people that have had the surgery. They knew that they would be ok even before they had the surgery. But for some reason, they ALL felt that for me, something would go terribly wrong. Even though I put my faith and trust totally in God, it did make me stop and take another look. Part of me says "Get the surgery done stupid." Then another stronger part of me sceams "No. Not now." Friday morning when I was getting ready to go shopping with my wife I was thinking "How am I ever going to lose all this weight?" I ALWAYS fail. Then my eyes, on their own, went up to a verse that's from the Bible that I had typed out in big letters and framed on the bedroom wall. It's from the book of Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." Was God telling me something? If He didn't want me to have the surgery, why did I have to go through all of this? Many, many people have lost weight by putting God in control of there weight loss. Maybe He wants this for me too. All I know now is that for me, maybe now, is the wrong time. (((((HUGS TO ALL))))) and God Bless us all.

Hi all, Well the IV was in my hand, do da, do da. The epidural was in my back. All the do da day. Then the Dr and anesthesiologist came to say, do da, do da. “You’re sugars to high, so you're postponed again.” All the do da day. Yes, I’m upset. But I’d rather be upset and have a surgeon who really cares about me then have a surgeon and anesthesiologist that would say, “let’s go anyways.” I thank God that Dr. Macatol is my surgeon. I was very, very disappointed not to have the surgery today but very, very grateful to know I’ve got a GREAT Dr and anesthesiologist. All I have to do is get my sugar numbers down and the WLS will be the week after Thanksgiving. I hope and pray. (((((HUGS TO ALL))))) and God bless us all.

Hi all, Well I’m sitting here now, doing my special pre-surgery diet the day before surgery, knowing that the phone will ring and I will be told that my surgery has been postponed again. But that won’t happen. Right? Well tomorrow at this time, with God’s Blessing, I will be in recovery. I feel like it is so unreal and that it’s something that really won’t happen. But I do feel perfectly calm. No anxiety. No fear. I asked God to give me the strength that I need to survive “pre-op” and He has. See you all on the otherside. (((((HUGS TO ALL))))) and God bless us all

Hi all, Well I’m happy to say that after my angiogram yesterday the cardiologist gave the thumbs up for the surgery:-) He said that everything is normal. No hardening of the arteries, no blockage and my valves are great. I guess we really can’t trust stress test that much can we. To be perfectly honest I really would not have been surprised if he did find some blockage. Before the angiogram I was as cool and calm as could be. Another blessing from God. So now my surgery date will be the 20th of Nov. Am I excited you ask? You bet your sweet bippy I am. The BIG LOSSER is coming. Ha Ha. (((((HUGS TO ALL))))) and thank you all for your prayers. Muah Gary

My new surgery date may be Noc. 20th, as long as everything goes ok with my angiogram. I will have that done this fri. in the morning. As soon as I get home I'll update. Please pray for me. I thank all of you, from the bottom of my heart, who have written to me with words of encouragement and support. Your prayers are helping me. It means a lot to me. May God bless you all.
