Perhaps there are many who think it is too good to be true.

If it is true, blessings to you and those on your team who have the love of medicine and ambition to HEAL.

I also agree that blessings should be sent your way. It's just too damn bad that you have to be a US citizen. Why do all the good contests and giveaways ALWAYS have to be exempt to canadians? So unfortunate ....:lol:

It's been a legal nightmare just to keep it complaint with the laws of the US!

Perhaps someday it can be a goal, a vision, to select a region through doctors willing to donate their services, and offer one person a chance for a new life. A scholarship of sorts. I believe in giving back. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Again...best to you doctor. Things that are truly worth having never come easy.

Oh, man. Not such good timing on that one. BUT you know they could promote it as "NO FOOLING! It's FREE. "

Dr. V I hope you are getting good response on your freebie. I'm thinking how much I wish someone was doing this when I found out insurance would not cover mine ( '06)(but my path went well in the end). It can cause desperate and depressive feelings on top of dealing with the weight and other health issues. Again, thank you to your group for giving back. I hope your goodness returns to you threefold.

Good Morning Dr. V,

My name is Sherrita Coleman and I want to have the lap band surgery, but was denied by my insurance. I had no other options and was inquiring about any more free giveaways you are generously offering.

I am a single parent and have been struggling with my weight all my life. I am researching and working on how to incorporate a healthy lifestyle everyday. I would be so grateful for this oppurtunity of a lifetime.

Thank you for your time,

Sherrita Coleman

Houston, Tx

      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.
