prayer requests for LBT'ers



Recommended Posts

Bumping :bump2: and also asking for prayer as my family is going to be making a huge move to OK within the next few months. Job change. The Lord always puts us where we need to be at the perfect time.

Much love to you Leatha. You are like a warm cup of Soup on a winter day. :) Hope all is well with you.

We are looking in the OKC area. I hear there are tarantulas & scorpions. My DW is not happy about that. :phanvan It will be a few months b4 the move is complete. Just pray that we will find a home and sell ours quickly.

Prayer request for my brother. He is a chronic alcoholic that needs to get into treatment asap. He is only 41 and is dying from the disease.

Hi Julie ~ I will be sure to pray for your brother to accept treatment. BTW, you are doing a super job with your band....very proud of you.

Please pray for my cousin, Donnie, in NC. He is in his late 50's and has been on life support the past couple of days. He was taken to the ER 4 days ago and they discovered a blockage from his pancreas to his liver. They discovered an infection in his pancreas. He and his family have a personal relationship with the Lord. We are praying for his full recovery.

Hi Paladin,

I'll pray for him as well. As an update, my brother entered rehab this a.m. He will go through detox for 3-4 days then he will remain there from 30-45 days. He is near deaths door so I really hope and pray it works out for him. Thanks for your compliment on being banded. I am really happy with my results and I'm looking forward to hitting my year in June. I'm hoping to be down another 15-20 lbs from where I currently am. Thanks again.

Wonderful news about your brother!! It will be a tough road for sure. He is lucky to have you there to support him. Keep us posted.

My cousin is doing better. Slow progress & he is still on life support. I guess his pancreas was full of toxins and spilled over into the rest of his body. Some people do not recover from this, but the docs seem positive with each passing day.

Hi Paladin, I have an update on my brother. . They ended up not keeping him the 30 days. He went through detox and they let him go. Don't ask me why. He is now attending AA meetings. Truthfully, I would be shocked if he stayed sober. But maybe he will. Its been discouraging to say the least.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
