brannewmee 103 Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks so much for the encouragement. Feels good to hear from another believer concerning this. Hasn't been an easy decision to make. When I went to surgery all my mom could say was " Lord you know what your daughter is getting into" this decision was one of the hardest I had to make. I'm down 20 pounds n feels good.

Onamissionn2013 50 Posted January 16, 2013 This post is so helpful. Have been battling in my mind. Any Spirit filled Christians out there? Yes ma'am there are! I know that there are some threads on here specific to faith, but I've met several others who are walking by faith in their band-life. God ordering my steps has been the only way I've made it this far on my journey. And Him keeping me encouraged as my date continues to be changed has been helping me keep my sanity. So yes...you'll find us Spirit-filled Christians sprinkled throughout these threads. Don't give the devil any room here...God doesn't bring you to something good...that will help to better your life...to take it away. God wants us to care for our temples... and some of us need the band to help to do that... Stay encouraged with your head held high! 1 Crystal927 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjmiller 37 Posted January 16, 2013 It has been so awesome to see January folks getting banded one by one. Well today is my band birthday. I am so excited that it is finally here. I pray that my surgeon's hands are steady and I am thankful to have made it unscathed through the pre-op phase. Yeah!!!! 2 Beckeboo25 and brannewmee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjmiller 37 Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks so much for the encouragement. Feels good to hear from another believer concerning this. Hasn't been an easy decision to make. I think I have dealt with a lot less doubt than many others because I truly feel that The Lord lead me to this path. Pray and follow His lead and you will be fine.

Julie_JJ 10 Posted January 16, 2013 Got my band yesterday! So far so good - I've got some trapped air in my shoulders and chest that's bothering me, but other than that I feel great for having had surgery yesterday. 1 Beckeboo25 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
