Yikes! Just Got Asked To Do A Tv Commercial For My Surgeon

The title says it all - I immediately start fretting that I am not at goal so i cant do a commercial - then on to I need tooth whitening strips, to get some self tanner and some clothes that actually fit haha. I will let you guys know how it goes. My hubby will most likely be in it as well (though I have not told him yet haha) he's down 130+ lbs. since his own VSG two weeks before my own and is right at goal - waaaaay soooner than we ever expected.

If we do end up doing this i will be sure to post a link.

Here is my surgeon's new site: http://www.swedishweightloss.com/

Wow, that is so awesome. You are in a good situation to really make a positive impact on others who are considering this wonderful approach to putting he obesity disease into omission. Plus you will get famous and will perhaps get considered for other commercials. And then you will not only be famous, but " rich and famous." Congratulations. What a validation of your good life choices. I got sleeved by Swedish weight loss as well by Dr McMahon. Perhaps I will join you someday. Lol. Down 125 lb so far in 5 months and looking forward to losing my last 20-30 lb.

That is great! You should come to the support group meetings - I go to the Saturday meetings and I always get something valuable. I think those folks at Swedish are the best :)

I was sleeved by Dr. McMahon on Aug. 27 of this year. The people in there office are great to deal with! Down 91 pounds so far!

I am still contemplating this one - number one reason that I may decline is that I have not yet reached my goal. For me - that is really, really important - as it is something I have never attained with WL in the past. It is a reason i dont post in progress, or befores here either - I want that really crazy before/after thing to be going on (well it is already, but the next 60-65 lbs will show an insane change.)

My before pics are so incredibly unattractive that anything is better than those haha.

Are you kidding me? What an honor to be asked to do this. I know you feel that there is some more progress to make, but the surgeon definitely thinks you have done great and have validated all the benefits of using WLS as a tool to be healthy. Out of curiosity, when are they asking to shoot the commercial? Perhaps you have some more time to drop 10, 20 or 30 lbs.
