Wow, I needed to hear this today. Thanks for the encouragement and reminder that God is in control!

Thanks for this reminder that God in control!! I appreciate it and really love your saying of 'spiritual vitamin'. what a great way to see it! www.300poundsdown.com

Powerful, and I recieve it. I truly needed that, surgery is right around the corner. If he brought me to it he'll bring me through it.

Love your postings.

Amen! Thanks for posting this. Do you know that I'm feeling this way and I have not even had surgery yet. The thing is I'm going hard, but if there is a pebble to come along my path will I be able to recover and regroup. It's the smallest things that holds our focus. The ultimate goal is to be happy, healthy and whole. I like the Vitamin S: Surrender. I may have to borrow that with your premission.

Hi there, I just read your post and I just wanted to say that I wish you the very best on your journey. I too am being sleeved on March 1st and I echo many of the sentiments you so eloquently discussed. Harmonic

Thank you so much for the reminder.

awesome blog!

AMEN

I hear you! I'm pretty certain most everyone that is thinking about having this surgery and those have have, have all the same fears, thoughts, concerns, etc. I know I did. I had tried every diet possible and would lose weight but it always came back. I was on anti-depressants for the past 3-4 years. Once I got sleeved, I realized that felt like I had been in hibernation for the past 3-4-5 years and I suddenly woke up and wanted to really live life! The sleeve changes your life. It is not an easy surgery. It is major surgery. When you are going through it, it is so real and pain is real. But, it passes and each day gets better. I was sleeved on 1/17/12. It is the best decision I've ever made and I am so happy I did it. I've blogged about my experience a bit, so feel free to check out my blog. I hope for you the best and peace of mind. I agree with LilMssDiva, venting and asking questions on this site does help a lot! We are all here to help and have this one thing in common, but as you will find, lots of things in common.
