Hey Secretive 22,
Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts & prayers. I know you will make it through the surgery because the WORD of GOD saya according to your faith so be it unto you & it appears to me that you are a person of faith. I had the surgery on January 26, 2006. The I am doing fine & loving it! I can truly feel a BIG diffference. Being a big loser feels so good as I always knew it would. Like you I put myself in the LORD's hands, the author & finisher of my faith and I went for it! I haven't been weighed since March 16, 2006 as of then I was down about 50lbs. I can't wait to go back to the Barix to see just how much more I have lost! I am getting around like never before. The protien is a bit of a challenge but I'm sure the Lord will give me a remendy that'll work for me. The GOOD news is that I have not had one day of "dumping or vomiting", ALL praise to the LORD cause HE did just waht I asked HIM to do! I never wanted to go through some of the changes I have heard of or even read of for that matter. I hid the scripture in my heart "I can do ALL things through CHRIST which strengthens me" . My husband and 3 kids are a big supportive help as well as my sisters & brother. I am glad & happy I made that choice and you will be too. I wish you a safe surgery and a blessed healing recovery period.
You Go Girl,
Becky R. Childs
