We need your help!! - Stories wanted on pre-surgery success!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

My name is Jen and along with my best friend Jodie have set-up a new company called Lap Band for the Mind. Before we were banded we realised that we needed to work on the mind side of things and resolve the underlying issues of why we were overweight in the first place, hence Lap Band for the Mind was born! You can visit our website at Optifast stage as well as tips & tricks to help you along the way.

As you have already been through this, we are looking for people to contribute their own stories about how you prepared for surgery and also any tips & tricks that you used to keep you on the straight and narrow during the Optifast stage (if you did it). It doesn’t need to be War & Peace or a great literary piece, just a couple of paragraphs on your experience.

I don’t know about you, but I always love to hear about other people’s journeys!

In return, we’ll give you a free copy of the eBook so you can see your name up in lights and we’ll also give you a free hypnosis download of your choice. Also, we’d be happy to add your blog link (if you have one) to our ‘Useful Links’ page that will also appear in the eBook.

Thanks for your support.

Jen & Jodes

Hi Everyone

We're still looking for a few more stories to complement our eBook - a big THANKS to those who have contributed already.

All we're after is a paragraph or two addressing the following:

What planning did you do prior to surgery?

What would you have done differently?

What was your experience on the day of surgery?

Apart from the obvious fame that you will have after being published in an eBook :(, as a thank you gift, we'd love to give you a hypnosis mp3 so check out this link to browse what you would like: HypnosisDownloads

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks

Jen

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
