Keeping my sights on Him



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for VSG on March 9th 2015.... I am headed to Tijuana. In the beginning I struggled to know if this was God's will so I spent a lot of time in prayer & started a blog which has helped a lot. I put a mission statement on the side of my blog and it keeps my focused on what is really important. Any other Christian sleevers out there?

This is one of the best gifts God has given me!! I was sleeved 12/17/14 and I reached my 40 pound mark TODAY!!!! It was HARD for me at first but boy it gets better with time. I prayed alot had a FEW breakdowns but now I'm here. I reached my first goal before my two months!! I have not taken a blood pressure pill since I was sleeved and no knee swellings..praise be to God!! This will be one of the best decisions of your life!! I will be praying for you!! Let me know how you are!!

Hi I am also having my surgery on March 9th in Puerto Vallarta. My hubby and I are planning a little vaca that includes my surgery. For now I feel for personal reasons I am keeping my decision for surgery between my husband and I. Only problem with that is I won't have the prayer support of other family members. Hope all goes well for you. Am feeling a little more nervous as time grows closer.

Hope your surgery went well. God gave me such a sense of calmness going into surgery. I knew with my whole being that this was from him.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
