Ceparano 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Hi Everyone, Still waiting for approval to join you in Bandland!! I live in New York, and during the evening news on one of our major TV stations there was an ad for Lap Band surgery!!!!! I was so excited to see that the word is finally getting out there so people will see they have options other than Gastric Bypass. Has anyone else seen this ad in their area?

maudeispam 2 Posted November 29, 2005 Yes the ad is on TV here all the time. (South Dakota). My folks in Michigan said it runs on their local networks too. Makes me glad that the word is getting out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amy_kf 0 Posted December 1, 2005 I am a bandster because of the ad I saw this summer here in Cincinnati. I saw the ad and called the number, and just a few short months I am here banded, and 20 pounds down one week after my sugery. I think my pre-op diet helped boost that number considerably. The word is definitely getting out! Amy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
