Best Decision Next to Accepting Jesus I have Ever Made!



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Danny Coleman and I am 33 years old. I have been obese my entire life for as long as I can remember. I began my weight loss journey at the weight of 527 lbs. I still do not understand how I was able to carry that much weight around everyday. I had the Rny Surgery done on July 3, 2012. I spent one night in the hospital and got to come home on July 4, 2012. What a holiday I declared my independence from this life of obesity. I am almost one year post op and I am now weighing in at 279.8 lbs and feeling so much better and healthier. I have recently rejoined the gym and working out 7 days a week and loving it. I am so happy I made the decision to have Rny and would recommend it in a minute because this has been the greatest decision next to accepting Jesus as my personal Saviour I have ever made in my entire life.. God bless you all I look forward to getting to know you all.

Wow what an incredible testimonial! I am so happy for you. This is my first week out and I list 2.5 lbs the first week. It is in the right direction so I refuse to get crazy right out of the gate. I have to have faith, follow the plan and stay positive. You are an inspiration - thank you!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
