Well, I go Monday, but now I won't know until my surgery is over whether I am having the sleeve or the bypass. Due to possible complications from my last surgery last year when my bowels ruptured and they had to remove my appendix. Take out a small portion of my colon and put a colostomy in. So all of that took place in the area of where my bypass would be. I have a lot of health issues, hence the reason and decision to have this surgery. I prayed and ask God to heal my body. I asked God if this surgery was not for me, to shut every door tight. If I had done this surgery anytime before my 65 th birthday, it would have costed me @ least 20% of the total cost. My first choice is the bypass due to my desire to get rid of the diabetes, which I have been told that the bypass offers greater results for that. But if there is a lot of adhesions and scar tissue it could cause a great degree of complication for me and greatly increase my risk factors. I have put all my faith in God. I prayed about this surgery before my final decision to have it. God has opened every door: I mailed my application to begin this process on a Saturday afternoon. The hospital called me on the following Tuesday (3 days), they had already approved me for the surgery. I just turned 65 in April, signed up for Medicare, chose Colonial Pen G plan as my secondary coverage. When the hospital called that Tuesday, she said, "you have already been approved and guess what? You don't have to pay one dime. You are covered 100% through your two insurances". 2 weeks later, I received my pre op education date and my surgery date. I only need to loose 8 lbs, no medical pre-requirements, no liquid diets and surgery on Monday. I told my doctor, I trust God and I trust him, so let's do this, he said, " I am so glad because I am a Lutheran and it don't get no better than that." So, God has opened every door for me. On Monday morning, I am going into that surgical suite with all power and all faith, knowing that His Word says: all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord , and who are called according to His purpose. And, anything you ask in my name, I will do. I will keep you all posted.

Opps, I meant I am a resident of Florence, AZ.

Originally, Buffalo, NY, I am not a resident of Florence, Arizona for the past 3 years...

Hey, how are you doing! I am so sorry I am having a hard time learning how to reply and respond back on this sight. I'll get it soon I guess.

Florence AZ.

I wish you God's speed.

July 13, I'm so excited and scared at the same time.
