Aliyah14 41 Posted May 7, 2015 Just want to meet some people who are share the same faith as me and are going through the process or already have gotten their sleeves. Without Jesus idk where I would be today and I know he will bless my surgery to be complications free. My faith is in Christ. 4 Amforshort, Godlybrickhouse1, Deactivatedfatgal and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProjectMe 909 Posted May 8, 2015 @Aliyah14. Hi I'm definitely Christian & was sleeved in December. I've lost 100+ pounds and owe it all to Jesus! BTW, while folks may not make their religious preferences known...One can get a pretty good idea where someone is spiritually by the consistent tone of their posts and the negativity/chaos that follows. Be mindful & guarded as negativity is contagious. Peace & Blessings on your journey! 2 Godlybrickhouse1 and Amforshort reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martene81 383 Posted May 9, 2015 I'm not a sleever but I'm definitely a Christian who believes that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could think or ask. I'm scheduled to have Bypass on May 27th and am so thankful that Jesus has kept me throughout this process. I know He'll be with me during surgery and after. I'm praying for your peace and strength through this process ???? 2 Amforshort and Godlybrickhouse1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbie623 65 Posted June 11, 2015 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Jesus is the Divine Bariatric Physician. He will never leave us or forsake us. I start my preop diet tomorrow. 1 Godlybrickhouse1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisalisak 11 Posted August 11, 2015 I am a licensed minister of the Gospel, I am being sleeved next week. I am so blessed and thankful that God has made a way and path for me to begin getting my temple back in order! My goal to give him glory is to speak everywhere in regards to taking care of our bodies and knowing why we got to where we are! This is the beginning, the end, & and the process through him which gives us life back! Embrace it girl and run with it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grandmaofone 411 Posted December 11, 2015 I was sleeved 6/15, down 77 pounds. I was lucky to only feel bad at the hospital and after I came home was all good. I love that the new me can speak up now and not stay hidden in the shadows, as my hubby is trying out for a new preaching position after we took sometime off when our oldest daughter had a baby at 17. She and baby are doing good and just moved out around the time of my surgery. Now it is time to get busy being God's hands and feet again which is much easier being lighter!! God bless each one of you and I pray your roller coaster of a ride goes as smoothly as possible!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
