Question:
What are my chances of something going wrong after surgery?

Lately, I have been hearing horror stories about people dying due to having the surgery, or getting an infection and kaiser not wanting to take care of the patient and people gaining all their weight back plus more. I'm getting cold feet. I should be hearing from San Diego in the next couple of months. Can anyone help me?    — Bonnie D. (posted on October 9, 2000)

Hi There, Your chances are just what you say chances buy, my question is who are you putting your trust in, surgery, or God. Because God is guiding and leading, those who turn to Him and ask for that help. I was 55 yrs. old when I had my surgery, and I have heard all kinds of stories, and even known some people personally, who did not make it. But, their chances without the surgery were also very mimimual. I was 400lbs. and am now 58 and at 140lbs. and I give God all the credit. He gave me the Faith in Him, and I still hand onto that today. If you want to make it you will. If you want the personal support you can reach me at [email protected]. My name is Linda Holland, and my profile is on theis site. I have made a decission to help others, like God helped me.
