I am a Christian and glad to find a forum for fellow believers. I am due to get my VSG on July 29 and have struggled whether this is the right step spiritually. But I feel like I have a peace about it right now and that things have progressed very smoothly... Things really seem to be just falling into place pretty much effortlessly. For that, I give God the glory.

Anyway, I am a wife and a mother of 1 (so far - 12+ years of infertility to have our first son).

Looking forward to getting to know more of you as this journey progresses!

My surgery is in 3 days, and I have struggled with the same issues. I was in continual prayer about it when the opportunity to sign back on to my school's insurance program made itself available for the first time ever. I jumped on that and signed up. I also reminded myself what the Bible says regarding if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out....for me my eating is sinful. (I am not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me it is). I'm so thankful that God has provided the opportunity for this surgery, and I intend to use it to the fullest and give God the glory!

I too dealt with secondary infertility. We conceived our son on the very first attempt. I gained 75 lbs during that pregnancy, and never lost it. After that we attempted to conceive for 8 years, when we were blessed with twin girls! God is so good!!

Best wishes to you!!

Hi! I am new here too--I have had the same concerns and have prayed and prayed to hear if this is what God will allow me to do. I have felt very apprehensive about the surgery and spending all that money, but I truly believe that God will be with me, and He knows that this is what I need to do to live a better life for Him. I am wanting to ask my surgeon and medical team to pray with me before the surgery, but I don't know if I will...I don't even know if he is a Christian...I don't want to make anyone feel awkward! Trying to get everything together to have my surgery on the 27th! Yeah! If it is God's will, it will be done!

Good luck to you all and God Bless!

I am apart of many surgical teams ( anesthetists) and I love to pray with my patients if they ask. I pray anyways to myself and KNOW our LORD has His hand on my shoulder throughout the case. We are so lucky to be Christians.

Thank you--makes me feel better about asking--it can't hurt and can only help! :-)
