I'm going to be in a commercial!



Recommended Posts

University of Missouri - where I had my surgery done- called me today to ask if they could interview me!! They want to do a spotlight on the bariatric section of MU Hospital and my surgeon told them to call me because I am a success story!! Me!!! A success story!! And I'm not even at my goal weight!

So I'm going to do an interview on June 12th, then they are going to take some footage of me running etc.

The Bariatric center wants to do a new commercial and they are going to use some of the footage in the commercial!

I'm so excited!! It is just so surreal that I am success story!! I just never thought I would be here. I know I have putting in the work but to be considered a success is an amazing feeling!!

When it is final I will post a link here if I can

Congratulations! Your story is so encouraging, because I was thinking (when I ought to be sleeping), that my latest stall has just made me an utter failure, even though my team says I am right on track. That negative self-talk can really do a number on us. But your experience is a beautiful reminder that our success happens way before reaching our goal weight. You are a success for taking responsibility for your health. You are a success for following the instructions in your plan. You are a success because you are paying it forward by encouraging the rest of us and those at the University of Missouri who will come after you.

@@Miss Mac Beautifully stated. Wrapping our heads around the process, walking the walk, etc... is where's it at, sistah. :)

@@TonyaMac Outstanding! I read your post and grinned broadly from ear to ear. You will be (and already are) a hero to many. Enjoy it!

Be well…

That's awesome, my hospital here in Oklahoma City (Integris) asked me to do a video testimonial also. I think it came out well also. You can go to the Integris OKC weight loss page and look under testimonials to see mine, I'm Mark Thomas. I was also asked to be on a panel this weekend to answer questions to future bariatric patients. It was really nice for them to ask for me specifically. I am 11 months out and down 185 pounds.

Congrats to you also, it is a very nice thing for you to do for your hospital.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
