She’s having major surgery tomorrow and she’s scared and I think she can use a little community love.
From Mare-
Tomorrow is the day of my surgeries. I am scared. All I care about is surviving it so I can be around for my kids (and dogs and cats, but really what gets me upset is worrying about my kids – they are still young & need their mommy!)
I really need this surgery badly, the symptoms have become unbearable and frightening.
If all goes well, I should be getting sent home some time Thursday. I’ll drop you a line to let you know I’m alive when I am able.
Best wishes, Marezilla. May the love of Jesus Christ surround you and your family.
prayers for my son were answered tonight when he got out of eye surgery
so, reciprocal prayers going to Marezilla tonight … God’s mercy to you
May the procedure be successful so you and yours have a Merry Christmas.
Marezilla, I pray for skilled surgeons with quick and steady hands, full success on your procedures and a speedy recovery. The Lord is with you, and so are we!
I will pray for you.
You are in America. You are in good hands. Trust in God and your surgeons. I did. No problem.
Morezilla, You’ll be fine. God Bless.
God speed !
Marezilla, Oops. No matter, you’ll still be fine.
The IOTWR Force is with you, Marezilla. Hang tough and remember that our thoughts and best wishes go with you into the OR, so you know you’re going to be OK. Drop us a line afterward and let us know how you’re doing.
Prayers for a speedy recovery!
Marezilla, May you have God’s presence, power, and protection during your surgery. I will be praying for you, your family, and your medical team tomorrow.
God will touch your shoulder Marezilla and all will be well. Give my best to your family (and the dogs and cats but then they’re part of the family as well I’d wager) because you’ll be home with your family before you know it.
Keep a positive attitude about the outcome. It worked for me in my three battle of cancer. Looking forward to hearing from you very shortly.
Stay strong Marezilla, lots of prayers for you. A good friend of mine just went through a open heart surgery and he is home now and feeling better than he has in a long time. He has 7 kids, 4 of them still at home. Looks like he is a genuine success story.
Good luck…..stay strong!!!!!
I pray that your surgery is a success and you have a quick and easy recovery.
My prays are with you Marezilla. Put yourself in God’s hands and be not troubled. All things are possible. All outcomes are blessed for those with faith and strength to let go of all doubts and anxieties.
Marezilla~
Saying prayers for you. Fear not, dear one! You’re gonna be okay!
Blessings to you and your family.🙏
Be strong, you will be fine.
Your inner strength is way mightier than you think.
“But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”
-Malachi 4:2
We may not be right there beside you, but we are with you nonetheless. You are not alone.
Zilla, know that you’re loved by the iotw family and prayers abound. May your recovery be short, in the comfort of your home, surrounded by those who love you.

My comment got lost. hmm…
Mare, trust that you will be fine, and we are all praying for you!
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, prayers for your son’s healing.
Zilla — A big virtual hug, dear girl! And many prayers and petitions to Jesus Christ for your very successful operations and swift recovery. We love you!!
Are they trying to take out her accent?…..It’s a joke……..be well and thrive….
Praying for you and your family. May the peace of Jesus Christ, the prince of peace, surround you all.
Praying for you, Marezilla! Blessings to you and your family.
I send you stength and peace.
And….I must say the people on IOTW are the best.
Prayers coming your way.
Marezilla,
God will be holding your hand to make sure you come through this with the best of outcomes.
If you have Christ in your heart, you have nothing to fear. I’m 10-11 surgeries deep in the last 10 years. Yes I have lost count. I understand the fears. I will pray for you and your family.
Slip your surgeon a few IOTW bucks, he’ll do an extra-good job.
You’re in our prayers!
Praying for your swift recovery. Lots of prayers from a whole lotta folks here!
We will be strong with you.
You will be strong with your family.
Marezilla, sleep well tonight surrounded by the love and prayers of ‘strangers’ from the internet who are your friends. May God hold you strong and keep the surgeons touch on target.
Speedy recovery and God bless.
Praying for the presence of the Almighty and the healing peace of our Lord Christ Jesus to be with you and your whole family Marezilla! God Bless
Let go. God will carry you through. Just envision yourself being cradled; close your eyes and snuggle down and go with Him, as a child, because you are His child. He has you.
May love and humor and warm kisses and snuggles from your loving children and adoring animals be with you! Because that is your Force and it is with you!
Godspeed!
Prayers for you.
Can’t say it any better than what’s already been said.
Lotta love here!
Faith and modern medicine have been known to work miracles! (-:
May your outcome be the best possible!
Marezilla-prayers for successful surgery and healing for you.
Been there, done and felt that. The hardest part is just getting into the OR because of the days of anxiety beforehand. There the anesthesiologist will let you know when the bolus is delivered through your IV, then it’s off to Planet Propofol or whatever they use.
After that, the next thing you will know is waking up in Recovery. Wishing you a fast recuperation.
Sending good thoughts to you for a successful surgery ( I know you’re scared, it’s okay to be) and a speedy recovery (know that you’ll be okay). 👍
^^ What all of them said. May you live *peacefully* to 120.
Ninety Nie… Ninety Eight… Ninet….
What do you mean it’s over already?!? I’ve only been out for 15 seconds!
Prayers for you and your medical team, Marezilla!
We’ll be with you in Prayer and Spirit.
May the Lord guide your Doctors and Nurses and embrace you in his arms of protection, grace, peace and healing.
Thank you Lord for Marezilla, be with her, her family and friends during surgery and her recuperation.
Blessings !
Hey you, prayers your way for everything to go right. Keep faith. It’s your light and your friend to show you the way and keep you company so you’ll not wander the dark alone.
It will pass as if nothing has happened and you will wonder why you were scared.
You will be okay.
Prayers and wishes for you Mare, and the family.
Prayers on on the way for Mare!! Get well girl!! We need you too!
Sending a prayer tonight and I will ask my prayer buddy, Fr. Stanley Rother to send his healing spirit. Stanley, a martyred American priest from Oklahoma,who was just beatified, has helped me through some challenging times. He’s my go to angel. 🙏🏻❤️
Prayers and well wishes from my family to yours.
Anon was me.
You are Zilla of the Resistance. ‘Nuff said. No worries and G-d bless.
Zilla, know that The True and Living God will never leave you nor fosake you. Trust Him – He loves you. Praying for your successful surgery and recovery. May you and your family know Peace that passes all understanding. God bless.
Mare:
Prayers for you, your family, and your medical team tomorrow and for a successful and speedy recovery!
Zilla, know that you will be cradled in God’s loving hands throughout surgery.
Keep a positive attitude that’s a must!
And remember on a positive note…I won’t be your surgeon, so there’s one thing you won’t have to worry about.
We’ll be sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear from you on Thursday…PRAYERS!
Zilla. I am going to boldy pray before The Throne for your successful surgery and speedy recovery right after I hit “POST COMMENT.” May the overwhelming peace of Christ saturate your body, mind, and spirit. As well as your family’s.
Please don’t be scared.
You have more friends and well wishers than you know.
Trust in Him and all will be right.
Next year at this time, make some cookies for the doctors.
Fear not marezilla. Your friends at iotw and the lord are with you. Good American medical care awaits you.
Getting you a pogo stick for Christmas. Unless you would prefer a skateboard. Let me know.
We spoke to Zilla on the show about her upcoming surgery.
Listen here. You’ll be glad you did.

I pray for you Marezella, for your peace and for your healing.
Prayers for you and your surgical team. Praying for an excellent outcome and swift recovery.
Prayers going up Mare.
my prayers and best wishes are with you
Marezilla, I will keep you in my prayers tonight.
Prayers for y’all marezilla.
Rest assured my friend, I will be thinking about you and your family, good thoughts coming your way! I believe!
So many lovely prayers here, they made my heart well up.
God be with you, Mare. Prayers being said after this posts and may you know how loved you are.
Any surgery thought of as “minor”, is “major surgery” when it’s your own. Or for a child, spouse, parents, sibling (well, the ones that still speak to you). It’s said there are no atheist in fox holes, I’ve sometimes wondered if there are any in the OR. It’s that scary. Praying your surgery is successful and recovery comfortable, quick and complete.
My thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
Thank you, everyone! I leave for the hospital in a little over an hour. Surgery is scheduled for 11am EST. If all goes well they will send me home tomorrow, but if I can get online from there I will try to get word to you guys when I wake up later today to let you know I’m ok. I am nervous but feel better with you all praying for me! I am also very thirsty! The whole no food or drink after midnight, like I’m a mogwai. LOL Time to wake the kids. We have nobody to watch them so my whole little family is going with me! Except the pets, they will be guarding the house!
Sending prayers and best wishes, Marezilla. Keep us posted. <3
In the hospital waiting waiting waiting with my family. I’m in a bed and hooked to an IV so I think it is going to happen soon!
Praying for you Mare. Hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you, everyone! I got home just a few hours ago. Surgery went well, I think, but they failed to take my life threatening Addison’s Disease seriously & forgot what my endocrinologist and I told them needed to be done post surgery and I got VERY SICK! I could have died, but YOUR prayers gave me an edge and made me strong so I am home now. Very very sore, but glad it is over and feeling better in some small but important ways already. Thank God, and thank you, and thank God FOR you! I really do love you all SO MUCH! Thank you again, and may God bless you, each and every one of you.
XOXO!!!!
Yea! So good to be home and not have to spend much time in the hospital. I will keep up the prayers as you recover.
God bless you.
Mare, I missed this post when it went up and only found it because of Claudia’s comment on the sidebar. I’m so glad you’re home now and I will be praying for speedy recovery and a Merry Christmas!
