Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi I too have surgery next week- Friday. I have done really good until last night when I thought WOW What AM I DOING????HAVING SURGERY TO LOSE WEIGHT? ISN'T THAT VAIN???? Then I started to pray. I know it isn't vain. I do pet rescue and we have a small shelter at our house. We rescue 600 pets a year from a small shelter that gives unwanted pet to research (and it isn't medical either). If I don't lose weight I am not going to be able to continue this. I already have a really hard time cleaning daily and helping to set up for adopt a days. I believe that God wants me to continue to help these pets and that to do that he will help me through the surgery. I prayed before going to sleep for a little strength ands support from him. I had silly dreams all night of being skinny and going placing with puppies and ect. lol When I woke this morning I weighed myself as usual. I have been on a diet and have lost 16 pounds for surgery. Well yesterday was my little cheat day so I knew I hadn't lost but probley gained a pound....Well I had lost 2 more pounds!!! I can bend over and put my shoes on now instead of putting my leg up on a chair... I haven't been able to do that in a year- it sure feels great. Got me to thinking all the other stuff I will be able to do again after surgery and I loose my weight. I feel God is behind me on this and though it is only human nature to worry some...things will be ok. Thanks for reading. Roxanne .

I go in next Thurs and what you're feeling is perfectly normal. Just ask yourself if you have confidence in your surgeon, trust God, make your final decision, and dont waver from it.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Becky is right, I did not discuss this procedure with anyone except my children, and after it was all over, I was fine, no problems, back to doing what I usually do. Stop conferring or relying on friends, having them tell you what the positives and negatives are, think of how wonderful you will feel, how healthy you will be, and the designer stores you can shop in.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Did your friend die because of the surgery??? or was it something else, and stop listening to other people, if they were friends, they would encourage you, and support the decision you have made. You will be alright, furthermore your dr. should be the judge as to whether or not you are more than 50%m at risk going into surgery. Be happy, but not so overjoyed as to do something that would hurt. Saundra, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
