Free Lap-Band Giveaway Extended



Recommended Posts

Due to an application glitch, I have decided to extend the deadline for my FREE lap-band giveaway until April 1, 2009!

If you are looking into the band, don't go any further until you visit my site, www.MoreFromMyBand.com for details.

If you already have the band, then tell a friend or loved one about my Giveaway.

I am the Real Deal. If you don't believe me, then just ask my friend, Coach Cher Ewing! Or visit my website at www.TexasCitySurgical.com.

Did you not do any research before having the procedure??? Were you not told that there is a VERY SMALL possibilty that the band might erode??? This was made very clear to me before I had my surgery along with all the other possibilities. If you weren't told then I can understand your attitude, for me however it was made clear from my very first consulation with my doc.

I have wanted the LAP-BAND® surgery for several years now. I am only 5'3" and weigh 290 pounds. I have degenerating knee disease. osteopenia, and am borderline diabetic. I want to keep on living and I have tried losing weight and I just can't get around and get the exercise I need. I am unemployed and there is no money or insurance to pay for this surgery. Everything hurts. I want to live again. Life is precious. I need this surgery. How do I sign up for the LAP-BAND® giveaway? Thank you so much for what you are doing. This surgery can give someone their life back. Praise God.

Thank you.

I would kiss the ground someone walked on for the rest of my long, healthy days, if I could get this surgery...My Dr's told me I'm the perfect candidate...My co-borbidities and health issues related to my weight are kicking in at 23. I am desperate for help.

My insurance, BCBS has an exclusion for Bariatrics on the policy my employer selected, so that is never an option for me with this company. I have researched everything...Does anyone have any suggestions?

At the risk of sounding too much like an elitist; the surgery is not very expensive and there are companies out there that specialize in medical loans.

And it is half-price in Mexico if you want to take that risk. There are plenty of good and bad surgeons there.

I do understand this, however, for someone like me, being 23 years old and experiencing the health-related issues I am already having, not to mention what's worse - What's to come if I can't get it taken care of - I am desperate for this surgery. I am not willing to take a chance in Mexico, nonetheless. I would not put my life at that great a risk.

As for the "inexpensive" surgery, if you would be interested in paying the $16,000 for me to have it, please feel free. I, on the other hand, could not afford that in many, many moons...no matter how long I saved up. I'm just beginning to feel that ping of "ouch" in my heart, as I hear "No" so many times. I mean, it's hard hearing it over and over again...regarding financing, my insurance won't do it, etc. etc. etc. I am trying to stay strong, but I can't help but get down about this.

      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.
