Words can't express my sentiment after watching ur update. Just know that you r in my prayers and thoughts. Best wishes mama. Your strong and will get thru this.
You have always been my inspiration from day one and to know you are feeling broken at this time is killing me. I wish I could be there to hold your hand and see you through this. You will be ok beautiful. You have all our prayers lifting you
Sweety I am so sorry you are going through all this. It must be a nightmare. Please be safe in the knowledge that all of us out here all over the world are thinking about you and praying for you now and always. I am typing this with tears rolling down my face. up
You are in my prayers. May you heal quickly mentally and physically from this experience.

Your experience may help inform and educate someone as they go through this process the good and bad of it all.
OMG Melanie: I am so sorry to hear this news. I just watched Wendy's update and I understand you cannot respond to all of us personally. Just please know we are all praying for you. I'll take a pause at 1pm tomorrow and say a special one for your successful surgery. You deserve the best! Love, Ann-Marie
Oh Mel! I am so sorry to hear this news. I have followed your journey from the very beginning and you have always been open and honest in your videos. I am truly sorry this is happening to you. I will certainly pray for you and your outcome. Well wishes to you sweetie. Speedy recovery! {{hugs}}

Please remember one thing....God doesn't give us more than we can handle it just makes us stronger individuals. Love you sweetie and please let us know how you are doing. *Hugs*
I hope everything works out. U will be in my prayers. From what I read, they should put you in emergency surgery sooner rather than later. Have faith & look how far you have come. i know you are scared honey but everything will be just fine. :)
Oh my gosh, Mel. I am literally crying watching this. I can't believe the person who did this to you. Oh, Mel. I am so sorry. Much love and my prayers are with you sweetie. Hugs.

I just joined to tell you that I am praying for you. I have watched most of your videos and was inspired to start my own journey.Please get well soon =)
I will be praying for you.. that is soo horrible what your going through. Please join us at tummytucktalk. ning. com , It is a support site for others that have had tummy tucks and other procedures and have also had complications... We would love to have you.

I have been following your videos for some time now and you have been such an inspiration to me. My LapBand is on 4/13/10 this coming Tuesday. I hope all goes well for you. I had a Staph infection a few years back from brain surgery so I know your pain but I am here to tell about it so I think you will be OK. Your so brave to put your videos on here.....I haven't had my picture taken in at least 5 years. God Bless & Get Well Soon.
I was in tears! Mel, I guess prayers were answered in that through this mess you ended up with a doctor who listened to you and tried to calm & reassure you & is giving you this break that you desperately need.. to make things right. You have favour now & I'll continue to pray for you!!
Mel, come over to tummytucktalk .ning. com!! You will get lots of support and advice from people who have been through this surgery and complications!!!

Oh Melanie, I am so sorry you are going through this!! I am thankful that you found a good surgeon who will really look after you. I will be praying all goes well tomorrow for your surgery. Sending you love and healing vibes.
Good luck Melanie. So sorry bout all this. Hopefully in a few months when you finally get the results you were supposed to get, you can reflect on this as merely a "detour" in your journey, as well as something you survived! Best wishes for Friday, I will be thinking of you =(
OMG!!! WTF. I can not believe this shiz.... poor Mel. I am soooo sooo sorry to hear this. I will definitely praying for you and your family. Thank God for such a wonderful husband to help you thru this time.
I'm so glad you found a doctor in time..I cry as I watch this...I may not be as involved in the YOutube WLS community..but ..you have been an inspiration to me since the beginning of my journey and you continue to inspire me. I will pray for you.
Im so sorry that your going through this. I can believe you even had the courage to make this video. My heart goes out to you. I wish you nothing but the best.
Hi Melanie, my heart goes out to you.. I know God has a plan for you and he has sent his Angels to you to help protect you..ur in God's hands now so let Him do his job and put all your fears in Him.

I had a Staph infection a few years back from brain surgery so I know your pain but I am here to tell about it so I think you will be OK. Your so brave to put your videos on here.....I haven't had my picture taken in at least 5 years. God Bless & Get Well Soon.

I was in tears! Mel, I guess prayers were answered in that through this mess you ended up with a doctor who listened to you and tried to calm & reassure you & is giving you this break that you desperately need.. to make things right. You have favour now & I'll continue to pray for you!!
