Micki,

Here's hoping for a complete and rapid (from this point on!!!) recovery.

speaker, so Christians don't have weight issues? Weird.

Micki, you sure have had quite a few life changing events in recent years, but let me tell you I am in awe and wow, over 250 pounds gone! I am so happy for you.

Dotsie, I have seen very few books out there by Christian authors, especially talking about GBS, which many of my friends have had and look great! Allison Bottke of God Allows U-Turns had this surgery and wrote about her experiences in a book that I believe it being turned into a for TV movie. She is a sweetheart. Donna Patrow has a wonderful weight loss/spiritual enrichment plan/program also.

I just don't think religious circles are ready for "cosmetic" anyting. =) However, I know that I am a supporter of just about anything cosmetic or otherwise that would motivate or encourage people to be the best they can be.

Dallas, positive self esteem does wonders for everyone involved. It's easier to love othres when we love ourselves first.
