Perhaps there are many who think it is too good to be true.

If it is true, blessings to you and those on your team who have the love of medicine and ambition to HEAL.

I also agree that blessings should be sent your way. It's just too damn bad that you have to be a US citizen. Why do all the good contests and giveaways ALWAYS have to be exempt to canadians? So unfortunate ....:lol:

It's been a legal nightmare just to keep it complaint with the laws of the US!

Perhaps someday it can be a goal, a vision, to select a region through doctors willing to donate their services, and offer one person a chance for a new life. A scholarship of sorts. I believe in giving back. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Again...best to you doctor. Things that are truly worth having never come easy.

Wow... that's so very kind of you! Good on you! :-D

Could have picked a better date to announce winner on April 1st is April Fools day where I come from!

Oh, man. Not such good timing on that one. BUT you know they could promote it as "NO FOOLING! It's FREE. "

Dr. V I hope you are getting good response on your freebie. I'm thinking how much I wish someone was doing this when I found out insurance would not cover mine ( '06)(but my path went well in the end). It can cause desperate and depressive feelings on top of dealing with the weight and other health issues. Again, thank you to your group for giving back. I hope your goodness returns to you threefold.

Good Morning Dr. V,

My name is Sherrita Coleman and I want to have the lap band surgery, but was denied by my insurance. I had no other options and was inquiring about any more free giveaways you are generously offering.

I am a single parent and have been struggling with my weight all my life. I am researching and working on how to incorporate a healthy lifestyle everyday. I would be so grateful for this oppurtunity of a lifetime.

Thank you for your time,

Sherrita Coleman
