God is a faithful God, He knows the desires of our hearts. He is the Great Physician! I am in the same boat. I was going to schedule my TR from next month, however, I am having a health issue that needs to be rectified and I am slightly heavier than I should be. I want to lose the weight beforehand. My DH is being very supportive about it also, which is wonderful. Initially, I was going to have my TR in Feb 2010 but I was informed of an opening for next month. So, I went and got a loan, PTL!! It was approved yesterday. So that was one hurdle that was overcome. I was a bit disappointed when I heard the news about my test results however, I know God is giving me a little more time to be at my optimal health for the OR He is going to bless me with. When I think about it, I'm glad that everything happened at this point, because I will be 41 on Sunday and if I had decided to do everything as if the TR was in Feb, I would have been further behind the ball game. God is Good, He reveals things in His time. So, I will keep you in my prayers as I would also like you to do the same. I am going to my Dr today to get things straighten out. God Bless and We Will Be Fruitful...Blessings Abound
By the way, where are you located? I'm in Bermuda.
Your weight loss goal is very do-able and you have a great attitude so I know you will succeed.
When my husband and I finally decided to go ahead with the reversal I had about 30 pounds to lose and I was really worried I wouldn't be able to do it. I've been able to lose weight in the past but I was never able to keep it off more than a couple weeks or months. Once I put my mind to it I haven't looked back. I lost the weight and my reversal surgery is scheduled for December 14th. It was kind of funny because we had been saving the money for the surgery but would dip into the fund whenever we felt like it. Once I started losing the weight we never touched the money again.
One day I stepped on the scale and realized I was finally able to schedule tubal reversal surgery and looked at the savings account and the money was all there. Honestly I don't think I've ever been so excited in my whole life.
Keep up the great attitude! You can do it! We are all here to support you.

Hi amandalee i'm in the same boat as you financially. i am also looking for a buddy. you are so right about making the choice for yourself. god told us to be fruitful and multiply but sometimes us being human we make choices for our self and later regret them. i let family members push me to make that choice for me. now i'm 32 just lost a child and i believe having another will help with the healing process. just stay focused on your goal our god is an awesome god and he knows the desires of our heart and he said ask in his name. i plan on trying to have the money before feb. if the lords will. you will do it just have faith in him and glorify his holly name he will provide you with what you need. I believe in my heart i will be holding my gift from him when he says it time and my baby will be healthy and definitely a gift from my father.
Thank you for your post. I wish you the best in your current goal and look forward to working with you on scheduling tubal reversal surgery soon! I am hopeful that you find the support you need here!

Hi, Last year I got very upset when I was ready to go an found out I had not met the weight limit for a tubal reversal
I was about 70lbs or so over weight..
I gave up hope an soon after found out that I had diabetes, again I lost hope thinking now that I am on meds. I was unable to think of a child again.
I found out last night an thur this board that I can have the TR an have a healthy child even with my meds. so now I am very excited...
I don't have much family in the area I live an its only myself an my DH to give me the push thur to know I can over come the last 50lbs to lose...
I am going to begin my payment plan, I was hoping that I could find a buddy on here someone to connect with that is kinda in the same weight boat or money boat...
As I think I need a pen pal to keep my spirits up with...
I am hoping that I can get the weight off by July, as my plans are to finish paying for the TR with income tax...
I have prayed about it an prayed about it..
As this was a tubal ligation I chose to have not one that God chose for me...
So with fixing my body back from the choices I made back at the time I was 22. I plan to leave the rest up to GOD!
If you are interested in being a buddy, or joining in a prayer group please let me know...
