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...

I can't think of a single reason why not to do the commercial! Bask in the glory. Do you get free fills or anything?

Arcael,

Are there reasons why you don't want to do the commercial? On the surface, it looks like a great idea. However, I'm interested know why you have reservations.

I don't know, dude. People judge you for these things. I mean... you're going to be KNOWN as the lap band guy. Sure you want that kind of attention?

The way I see it...go for it....if more people know and recongnize you then that's yet another tool to help you along your path and keep it off. Way to go on the weight loss be proud of it and go for it!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
