^^^^ this. If you're second guessing now, think what you'll do if you go ahead and things don't go to your expectation. So much easier to blame it on God punishing you etc.

You have to do whats right for you, nobody can tell you the right answer. For me, i know in my heart that I need this. I also believe that God loves me and wants me to live in a healthy body.

I realize upfront there will be differing opinions on this Topic. I am hoping we can agree to disagree & respect each others Truths as we know them or believe them.

I normally dislike talking about religion or spirituality or politics in open forums because we are so diverse in our opinions and sometimes people can take things too personally or misunderstand someones intent ,especially when you cannot hear the tone of voice or body language in which the message was delivered and every time I try to put a smiley emoticon on here it puts it as a question mark lol.

So here it goes, I keep thinking by having this surgery Im changing Gods plumbing and asking myself if I am ok with that.

There are many surgeries we sometimes need to have such as gallbladder removal and so on. The problem in my mind Im having negotiating this one is that Im wondering if God wouldnt look at this as good for me since I should be able to lose weight on my own without disrupting what he created. I have not been successful losing more than 30 pounds at a time on my own but its not my bodies fault right, its my own.

That brings me to another thought. If I cant lose weight on my own and gastric bypass surgery is only a tool than where does that leave me.

Im a bit frustrated not knowing how to resolve these questions in my mind.

God wants us to be the healthiest, best ppl we can be, whatever that takes.

God certainly didn't want you to eat yourself into being morbidly obese, but you did anyway.

Why aren't you worried about how he feels about that?
