Fellow lap-banders!! I need your HONEST opinion.



Recommended Posts

I was approached today by the marketing dept for weight loss centers asking if i would be interested in doing some advertising for them. They've set up a photo shoot, and will record some video and audio testimonial for Thursday (less than a week away!)

I was super excited about doing this, but now that I'm thinking about it more and more I'm second guessing myself and my weight loss. Maybe I should decline, allow myself some more time to lose a few more pounds and see if the opprotunity comes up again.

Anyway...If you would be so kind as to check out my before/after pics on my bandster profile and tell me HONESTLY what you think I'd appreciate it TONS.

I think you look awesome!!

I personally would wait on the photo shoot until I was a year out . Just to get closer to goal and to make sure I want my progress photo all over the place.

Good Luck!!

Ok well I think everything everyone else does....you look amazing and you are one of the reasons other people look at the lap band...because you have done fabulous at it obviously. Here is my concern, "Weight Loss Center" is this for the lapband procedure or another type of weight loss program? I'm sorry if I missed where that was said but that is my concern. If it's to promote what an awesome job you have done heck yeah go for it, but.....like was said is this the point in your journey you want to advertise?

I should of been more specific! It's for the Lap-Band. The same ads you see at this site ( 1-800-get thin)

Thanks so much for everyone's replies! I really appreciate it!

OH crap! I am going to have to revise my opinion. I am not in love with the reputation of 1-800-get-thin. They have issues.

I think you look amazing as well. But like she says, I too have heard lots of negative things on here. If you search this site enough you will find them. Good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
