Prayers and good thoughts needed



Recommended Posts

I need some support today. My husband is undergoing pretty major surgery to remove some bone in his hip this afternoon. He is parapalegic and has had some major health issues the past 3 years. In fact, I have almost lost him a few times.

Soooo... any good thoughts, prayers, white light or whatever your thing is sent my way would be greatly appreciated!

My family's prayers are with you and your husband, I pray that God will guide the Doctor to do what is needed and that then God will lay his healing hand on your husband and give him peace and rest through all of this. I also pray for a hedge of protection for you while this is happening and that God will give you peace and rest so that you will have a complete peace about all of this.

Drewslou, I will definitely keep your hubby and family in our prayers. I know where you are coming from. My father has been a quadriplegic for the past 40 years. I was six when he broke his neck in a diving accident. He is in ICU right now. On Wednesday his fistula (sp) for dialysis ruptured and he lost 3 pints of blood had to go in and have surgery to reconstruct the artery. I know the health issues with Quads & para. Keep up the faith and god is always at your side. Please keep me updated on his progress.

God Bless, DeAnn

I wish I'd seen this earlier so I could have been praying for you guys as well. But I know that God is good and has heard the prayers that were lifted up for you and your husband, so I trust that all went according to His perfect will. I will be praying for comfort and peace for you and your family and will be anxious to hear back from you.

Prayers for your husband that the surgery is easy and totally successful. We ask that this surgery's recovery be swift and start him on the road to better health. Thank you God, already done. Amen.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. Hubby came through surgery like a champ. It was a pretty complicated operation per the surgeons but all went well. He didn't even have to go to ICU after! This has really been a tough past few years with his health and I'm hoping we are finally going to see a light at the end of the tunnel... just hoping it's not a train! He will be in the main hospital at least through Tuesday and then may move to a step-down unit for a couple of weeks. So much for a fun 3 day weekend!

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

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
