Christian sleevers any the just had...



Recommended Posts

Wooooow......I have been on this site for a while and I just found this group. I too am a Christian and grew up believing that I should include God in every decision I make. I prayed for this and asked God if it's not for me give me a sign. Well since I started this journey everything has been smooth sailing. After finishing my requirements I was approved by my insurance the same day it was submitted. My surgery is set for December 10. I know that was nobody but God. I thank him for his constant presence in my life. I love that this forum exist especially for believers. God bless everyone in their journey ????????.

Amen I did the same ... I'm now almost 8 weeks out. The surgery is a battle itself.. I enjoy it some days and the others days could be better .. I keep God first and thank him everyday... God bless you as well and welcome too the club you won't regret it

Hi everyone. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I will be inviting God in that OR with me and praying that He guides the doctor and blesses me with an uncomplicated and speedy recovery. If you all would pray for me too, I would greatly appreciate it.

I pray that God blesses and keeps each of you.

Hi everyone, I hope it's not too late to join this thread.

I haven't had surgery yet. I meet with dietician and surgeon in a week.

I feel that surgery is a tool like everyone is saying.

But the Bible says to be moderate, to not be given to appetite..

If the sleeve helps me to be and obedient and disciplined daughter of God, then PRAISE the Lord!!!! Right?

God Bless,

Heidi

@@lachellove - thx for the prayers. I am 8 days out today. Today I am feeling much better. I had a couple of complication, but it was due to anesthesia, not the actual surgery. I have never done well with anesthesia. Really makes me nauseous, no matter what they give me to combat it. But I hope that is in the past and each day is better than the last.

      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.
