Lap band support...on ebay?



Recommended Posts

It's a she!!! She now has before and after pics on the auction site. The pamplet is one page (8 1/2 x 11), plus you get her phone number.

I think some of our before and after pics look better than hers. Do you think we should send them to her?

Yeah I emailed her and asked for her to put her pics on the listing so we can see if she lost weight ...I didn't give her my personal email though...lol

She neglected to tell me about the brochure though.

There was some time back also an ebay auction asking for contributions for a girl so she could pay for lap band. Do you guys remember that??

I am tempted to buy one just to see what she has to say but I really don't want to encourage her :heh:

I also go a chuckle out of one of her other sale items--a book entitled "How to Start, Build, and Market a Debt Free Business."

Definitely odd.

The only feedback that seller had was for a Nintendo - not lapband related at all - unless she programmed her 1 page flyer into it!

There is also a number of auctions for people selling RNY / GP journals - which all seem to be comprehensive diaries or advice booklets - but none offering the "direct line" of support to the purchaser

Sorry, I think I'll spend my 5 bucks on CHEESE!!!!!

I remember that. I don't remember if it was teh same girl who came here, wanting the same thing. I just remember she got really mad when people suggested ways for her to make money or finance the surgery (rather than just donating to the cause, I suppose.) Boy did she come to the wrong place. Everyone here has had to sacrifice in one way or another to get banded, so for her to come here and ask for money when she hadn't even tried to help herself got a lot of people fired up. :scalesno:

It's not Sandy, but I'm surprised Sandy has let this opportunity pass her by.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
