Millions Didn't Make It



Recommended Posts

On Dec. 16, 2016 I was sleeved after fighting for it for more than two years. When time came my insurance covered all the cost. I had support and so on.

Presently I am close to being 70lbs down. I feel much stronger. Through exercise I am having more energy to tackle my day.

I am saying all this because I realize one truth-- God alone enabled me to even begin this journey. There are many in our country and elsewhere whom could even dare to dream to have such an opportunity. I am very thankful for His mercy and grace in this situation. He could have seen my situation and left me in it, but He deemed otherwise was best for me.

There is this old Winan song "Millions". The chorus goes, "millions didn't make it, but I am one of the ones who did." Now this song is not talking about salvation and not WLS, but think the truth still applies. God doing a work that only He can do. If you are interested the link to the video is below.

I am grateful that God took my very old dog last week with much love. I feel like my arm or heart is amputated. I know my girl is okay. My other gratitude is that she went pre-op and not in 4 weeks time post-op. How would I have coped and how could I have nursed her? Thanks.

No, I made a mistake.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
