"Thank God for My Sleeve!"

I'm so sick of reading that. Thank your surgeon, the surgical staff, the person that came up with the concept of the gastric sleeve, etc.!

    I'm thankful for God for keeping me safe and never leaving my side. I'm also thankful for my surgeon and hospital staff. To me - saying thanks does not need to be mutually exclusive.

    I agree. There are medical/biological reasons beyond our control regarding why most people are unable to lose weight without the medical intervention of WLS, but it's all our own willpower and drive t

  • Just like a pro football player thanking god for a touchdown. It's silly and illogical, and if there were such a god, would he have nothing better to do than deliver touchdowns (or Oscars, etc.)?

So you all worship Satan ? I will pray God has mercy on all of your souls. Just stopped on here to see if this group was real

WHAT?!??!!?

My lack of religious beliefs does not equal worshipping Satan. If your opinion mattered to me in the slightest, that would be totally offensive.

No, darling, I don't worship Satan. I don't believe in Satan or hell so not a lot there to "worship".

Oh ok. I was asking a question I didn't know what that meant. It wasn't an opinion just a question now I know what it means. Thank you

Did not mean to be offensive I worded that wrong.

I'm so excited I found this sub forum! I had no idea it even existed!

You didn't know what WHAT meant?

Not surprised that a "believer" thinks that non believers worship Satan. Really? I believe in the kindness of strangers. I believe if I eat too much, too often, or high carb food, I will sabotage my sleeve. I believe I don't have to be fat forever and my support group helps a lot! There are many more things I believe in, but God, from any religion is not one ofthem

@@LipstickLady like I stated before I did not know what an Atheist and the other word on this group I forgot what its called is. I've been told my whole life that they worshiped Satan. So yes @@PaulaleeB that is why ME a Beliver thought that. Now I know the true meaning. Thank You all for explaining...

BTW, it would be nice if we could get the word "atheist" spelled right.

If anyone who has admin powers is listening ... ;)

I had no idea this sub forum existed and honestly the OP words really saddened me. I believe that people should be able to express themselves and others can share or learn about beliefs other than their own.

For example, I taught a class of Nursing Assistants several years ago. 90% of my class was Muslim. i found out a lot about the Muslim faith and it was very interesting.

My medical director from years ago had the whole staff at his house and asked us to share our "holiday" traditions. I learned about Hanukah and Christmas traditions from a variety of perspectives. I remember when I left his house feeling uplifted and like I had really celebrated diversity.

For the people who are thanking God, that is an expression of their faith, not an attempt to proselyte (at least not the ones I've seen). Also, offering of prayers is an expression of concern and caring when someone is going through a hard time.

Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on....

HA!! Didn't even notice. I will message the powers that be!

I agree. I think the OP was simply expressing her thoughts in an appropriate forum. If it was in the general area, that would not have been appropriate at all. Just my opinion.
