Fellow lap-banders!! I need your HONEST opinion.



Recommended Posts

I was approached today by the marketing dept for weight loss centers asking if i would be interested in doing some advertising for them. They've set up a photo shoot, and will record some video and audio testimonial for Thursday (less than a week away!)

I was super excited about doing this, but now that I'm thinking about it more and more I'm second guessing myself and my weight loss. Maybe I should decline, allow myself some more time to lose a few more pounds and see if the opprotunity comes up again.

Anyway...If you would be so kind as to check out my before/after pics on my bandster profile and tell me HONESTLY what you think I'd appreciate it TONS.

I think you look awesome!!

I personally would wait on the photo shoot until I was a year out . Just to get closer to goal and to make sure I want my progress photo all over the place.

Good Luck!!

Ok well I think everything everyone else does....you look amazing and you are one of the reasons other people look at the lap band...because you have done fabulous at it obviously. Here is my concern, "Weight Loss Center" is this for the lapband procedure or another type of weight loss program? I'm sorry if I missed where that was said but that is my concern. If it's to promote what an awesome job you have done heck yeah go for it, but.....like was said is this the point in your journey you want to advertise?

I should of been more specific! It's for the Lap-Band. The same ads you see at this site ( 1-800-get thin)

Thanks so much for everyone's replies! I really appreciate it!

OH crap! I am going to have to revise my opinion. I am not in love with the reputation of 1-800-get-thin. They have issues.

I think you look amazing as well. But like she says, I too have heard lots of negative things on here. If you search this site enough you will find them. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
