    Stepping Out On Faith

    Thank you so much for your testimony. I am a strong believer in the power of the Lord. I know he can do anything but fail. I'm putting my trust in His hands. Keep me in your prayers and I shall keep you in mine. BTW, what is your name? I'm Eva

    Stuff you Need at Home

    Thank you for the info. I have no idea what to expect and this has really given me some idea as to what I will need. God's speed in your recovery.
  4. Hello Everyone, My overweight journey began in 1978. It all began with my clothes fitting a little tighter, Jeans being harder to zip. I shrugged it off as bloating thinking it will go away. I was wrong. Over the years I was under a lot of stress and food took on a whole new meaning of "comfort food." Now 30 years later, here I am from 116lb. in 78-263lbs. today. My doctor discussed gastric bypass surgery with me back in November of 07, and I finally made the call last week. My husband and I attended a seminar this past Saturday and we were very impressed by the lecture as well as the guest speakers with their testimonials. I go for my consultation tomorrow and maybe even setting a date for the surgery. I'm stepping out on faith because my trust & faith in God is the strongest support I can have. My hubby means well, but he too is over weight and I have had so much trouble staying on a diet while trying to keep him on one at the same time. "I can't watch his weight and mine too." I need to know what to expect having the surgery. At the seminar, they talked about "some pain," clear liquid diet for 2weeks etc. I need to hear from you, the ones who have walked down that road already. What effects will I have, how long is the healing time and most of all; will I have excessively sagging skin and can I get rid of the sags without plastic surgery. I can bearly afford the consultation fee. "Thank God for insurance for the surgery!" I hope you will help me in this journey. I came here because I know how important it is to know I am not alone. God bless, Suggabugga
