Lap band support...on ebay?



Recommended Posts

It's a she!!! She now has before and after pics on the auction site. The pamplet is one page (8 1/2 x 11), plus you get her phone number.

I think some of our before and after pics look better than hers. Do you think we should send them to her?

Yeah I emailed her and asked for her to put her pics on the listing so we can see if she lost weight ...I didn't give her my personal email though...lol

She neglected to tell me about the brochure though.

There was some time back also an ebay auction asking for contributions for a girl so she could pay for lap band. Do you guys remember that??

I am tempted to buy one just to see what she has to say but I really don't want to encourage her :heh:

I also go a chuckle out of one of her other sale items--a book entitled "How to Start, Build, and Market a Debt Free Business."

Definitely odd.

The only feedback that seller had was for a Nintendo - not lapband related at all - unless she programmed her 1 page flyer into it!

There is also a number of auctions for people selling RNY / GP journals - which all seem to be comprehensive diaries or advice booklets - but none offering the "direct line" of support to the purchaser

Sorry, I think I'll spend my 5 bucks on CHEESE!!!!!

I remember that. I don't remember if it was teh same girl who came here, wanting the same thing. I just remember she got really mad when people suggested ways for her to make money or finance the surgery (rather than just donating to the cause, I suppose.) Boy did she come to the wrong place. Everyone here has had to sacrifice in one way or another to get banded, so for her to come here and ask for money when she hadn't even tried to help herself got a lot of people fired up. :scalesno:

It's not Sandy, but I'm surprised Sandy has let this opportunity pass her by.

      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.
