I am scheduled for VSG on March 9th 2015.... I am headed to Tijuana. In the beginning I struggled to know if this was God's will so I spent a lot of time in prayer & started a blog which has helped a lot. I put a mission statement on the side of my blog and it keeps my focused on what is really important. Any other Christian sleevers out there?

This is one of the best gifts God has given me!! I was sleeved 12/17/14 and I reached my 40 pound mark TODAY!!!! It was HARD for me at first but boy it gets better with time. I prayed alot had a FEW breakdowns but now I'm here. I reached my first goal before my two months!! I have not taken a blood pressure pill since I was sleeved and no knee swellings..praise be to God!! This will be one of the best decisions of your life!! I will be praying for you!! Let me know how you are!!

Hi I am also having my surgery on March 9th in Puerto Vallarta. My hubby and I are planning a little vaca that includes my surgery. For now I feel for personal reasons I am keeping my decision for surgery between my husband and I. Only problem with that is I won't have the prayer support of other family members. Hope all goes well for you. Am feeling a little more nervous as time grows closer.

Hope your surgery went well. God gave me such a sense of calmness going into surgery. I knew with my whole being that this was from him.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
