No, I have not. I did get a call from them though that said they had run out and they were going to be sending more out on either the 20th or 29th.

so you should have it next week. I cannot wait to get mine.

I spoke wit Sandy at Orti'z office, there was a delay and she said they should be sent out this week. Also for those of you who ordered, please make sure you were not overchargerd. It has been posted on other boards that some have been charged 129.50 on their credit card statements instead of 12.95. If this is the case for some of you please call the publishing company MWP Publishing at 949-715-7924. It seems to have been an error on the part of the publishing company and they are aware of it as well as Ortiz's office and are working to correct the problem.

I got a call too, saying it would be shipped last monday. I should be getting it soon if they did. I'll let you know.

Thanks Michelle for warning us about the overcharge. :)

Let me know what you all think of it when you get it. I will probably want one too if its any good. I took that Jessie Ahroni book and gave it to my primary doctor yesterday. I am the only band patient he has and thought it might be useful for him to learn a little bit about the procedure. Best wishes, Teresa

Hey, did anyone get their book yet? I haven't gotten mine and it was supposed to be shipped a few weeks ago. I sent them 2 e-mails asking about it and haven't gotten a response yet!

Not me, I'm still waiting!!! Yes, Nancy it is a book that Dr. Ortiz wrote about the LapBand. There was a post somewhere on this board that had a link to order it, but I don't remember which one.

I called Orti'z office this week and they have all gotten their copies and she said that the others are being shipped..If I do not get mine by next week..I'm going to dispute the charge on my credit card..this is ridiculous. As much as I love Dr. Ortiz I feel he should not made it public that the book was here and then have the publishing company take a month to ship them...

Mine was charged the day that I ordered it as well. I do not have mine either. They had called in November and said that they would be shipping them out.

Still no book. If I do not get it next week I might ask for an e-mail address or something as they already charged my account.

I sent them an email and told them either send my book or credit my account.

They sent me an email on 11/29 with this url blocked::http://www.mwpmedia, which i could not use to an 'electronic copy - until they could get the books out. well, as you see, it is 'blocked' so this never worked for me.

      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?

      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.
