Hey everyone, I'm curious about your opinion on this matter. I visited my surgeon today and after all the measurements and weigh ins and stuff they asked me if I wanted to be in a commercial. I'm also going to have my pictures taken for a sucess story for their website.

What do you guys think, should I do it?

I don't care that everyone I know might see it because I've told everyone that I have the lap-band.

Anyways, Poll should be above.

I'd go for it, maybe it will help people that are skeptical if this is the route to take. I noticed your surgeon is Dr. John Pennings, Is that the same one from Post Falls? He's to do mine in January.

If you're happy with your band and confident with your surgeon's work, go for it!

Congratulations on your success thus far :eek:

Yeah, he asked me today. He's a great guy and my mother also works at that hospital.

      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.
