Um....yes' date=' snide remarks are bad....but differing opinions are always welcome and should not be discouraged.

If you want to keep it all "pro-god" I suggest you take it into the religious sub forum. Seems only fair.[/quote']

She was not making it pro-God like you put it. She simply said she was thankful she was not preaching.

No disrespect intended with my previous comment or now....but the phrase "if you don't like something...move on" is basically saying "keep your differing opinion to yourself." We can all disagree politely and tactfully, and anyone can get as spiritual as they want to be....but I just don't like people trying to silence the opposing voices, that's my only complaint.

Seriously i made this post because ive been over joyed with my results and i wanted to share my story...it seems like this has turned into a debate forum...please no drama folks we are here to support each other

I hear you.... I am so very thankful that I had this surgery.

So glad your doing well!!!! It is awesome!!!!

I am grateful that God has blessed doctors with the talent and expertise to help people like myself who need help to lead healthier lives. Some may feel differently, but there is a higher power at work in our lives whether we choose to believe it or not. Thankfully, sounds like you are feeling healthy, happy, free & grateful, which is an amazing thing!!!!

I'm not saying different points of view are bad but I also don't think an theist will convert a Christian via this forum or vice versa so move on. The comment I referred to wasn't about a different opinion it was a snide comment in reference to the OP. How is that productive???

And really, not fair to try to belittle someone when their coming to such a point of joy in their life! No one is trying to convert anyone here. We are all different people coming from different places with WLS in common. Let's celebrate this person's huge success and not be sarcastic to someone who is here for support, not sarcasm. Really...

Wow, congratulations! Indeed, the Lord does work in mysterious ways.

Congratulations...God is one that moved the surgeon hands to perform and the surgeon mind for guidence.

Amen! I also give God all the Glory! June 22nd was my one year anniversary and i am down 109 lbs. Surgery was made possibly by the Lord. My insurance didn't cover it and I didn't have the cash. God send me an angel with a check in hand to pay for my surgery...

I thank God every day .. And I'm happy that you dealing so well
