Should I...?

Hey everyone, I'm curious about your opinion on this matter. I visited my surgeon today and after all the measurements and weigh ins and stuff they asked me if I wanted to be in a commercial. I'm also going to have my pictures taken for a sucess story for their website.

What do you guys think, should I do it?

I don't care that everyone I know might see it because I've told everyone that I have the lap-band.

Anyways, Poll should be above.

I'd go for it, maybe it will help people that are skeptical if this is the route to take. I noticed your surgeon is Dr. John Pennings, Is that the same one from Post Falls? He's to do mine in January.

If you're happy with your band and confident with your surgeon's work, go for it!

Congratulations on your success thus far :eek:

Yeah, he asked me today. He's a great guy and my mother also works at that hospital.

Go for it, Chris! What a great opportunity to talk about what a positive thing this was for you! And the exposure for you may lead to other things :eek: I'm so proud of you! Congrats on all of your success! And a July Bandster to boot!!

Cool!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Your Dr needs to make it clear if they mention your amount of weight loss that not everyone will go down 100lbs in just 4 months.

I would do it if I were you...
