Yikes! Just Got Asked To Do A Tv Commercial For My Surgeon



Recommended Posts

The title says it all - I immediately start fretting that I am not at goal so i cant do a commercial - then on to I need tooth whitening strips, to get some self tanner and some clothes that actually fit haha. I will let you guys know how it goes. My hubby will most likely be in it as well (though I have not told him yet haha) he's down 130+ lbs. since his own VSG two weeks before my own and is right at goal - waaaaay soooner than we ever expected.

If we do end up doing this i will be sure to post a link.

Wow, that is so awesome. You are in a good situation to really make a positive impact on others who are considering this wonderful approach to putting he obesity disease into omission. Plus you will get famous and will perhaps get considered for other commercials. And then you will not only be famous, but " rich and famous." Congratulations. What a validation of your good life choices. I got sleeved by Swedish weight loss as well by Dr McMahon. Perhaps I will join you someday. Lol. Down 125 lb so far in 5 months and looking forward to losing my last 20-30 lb.

That is great! You should come to the support group meetings - I go to the Saturday meetings and I always get something valuable. I think those folks at Swedish are the best :)

I am still contemplating this one - number one reason that I may decline is that I have not yet reached my goal. For me - that is really, really important - as it is something I have never attained with WL in the past. It is a reason i dont post in progress, or befores here either - I want that really crazy before/after thing to be going on (well it is already, but the next 60-65 lbs will show an insane change.)

My before pics are so incredibly unattractive that anything is better than those haha.

Are you kidding me? What an honor to be asked to do this. I know you feel that there is some more progress to make, but the surgeon definitely thinks you have done great and have validated all the benefits of using WLS as a tool to be healthy. Out of curiosity, when are they asking to shoot the commercial? Perhaps you have some more time to drop 10, 20 or 30 lbs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
