Christian sleevers ?



Recommended Posts

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.

@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!

I have a long way to go and haven't got started yet waiting on the financials so keep me in your prayers I'm tired of my life being put on hold it seems like due to my weight and they way people act towards me now since I'm not thin. God bless you for responding just needed to hear that. Thank you so much pray for me!

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 ????

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.

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!!

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!!!

      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.
