Due to an application glitch, I have decided to extend the deadline for my FREE lap-band giveaway until April 1, 2009!

If you are looking into the band, don't go any further until you visit my site, www.MoreFromMyBand.com for details.

If you already have the band, then tell a friend or loved one about my Giveaway.

I am the Real Deal. If you don't believe me, then just ask my friend, Coach Cher Ewing! Or visit my website at www.TexasCitySurgical.com.

huh is this for real, my band eroded in 4/08, out 8/08, angry angry woman, self pay.....like throwing $k's out the window.

attorneys won't case, i'm screwed and still fat

Did you not do any research before having the procedure??? Were you not told that there is a VERY SMALL possibilty that the band might erode??? This was made very clear to me before I had my surgery along with all the other possibilities. If you weren't told then I can understand your attitude, for me however it was made clear from my very first consulation with my doc.

The erosion rate is very, very low now--about 1% or less, but I am sorry to hear it happened to you, Carol.

Best wishes

This is the real deal guys. Dr. Vuong has created a very special giveaway, check out his website for more information.

I have wanted the surgery for a couple of years. What do I need to do to apply for the give away?

I have wanted the LAP-BAND® surgery for several years now. I am only 5'3" and weigh 290 pounds. I have degenerating knee disease. osteopenia, and am borderline diabetic. I want to keep on living and I have tried losing weight and I just can't get around and get the exercise I need. I am unemployed and there is no money or insurance to pay for this surgery. Everything hurts. I want to live again. Life is precious. I need this surgery. How do I sign up for the LAP-BAND® giveaway? Thank you so much for what you are doing. This surgery can give someone their life back. Praise God.

Thank you.

omg! :thumbdown:

I would kiss the ground someone walked on for the rest of my long, healthy days, if I could get this surgery...My Dr's told me I'm the perfect candidate...My co-borbidities and health issues related to my weight are kicking in at 23. I am desperate for help.

My insurance, BCBS has an exclusion for Bariatrics on the policy my employer selected, so that is never an option for me with this company. I have researched everything...Does anyone have any suggestions?

At the risk of sounding too much like an elitist; the surgery is not very expensive and there are companies out there that specialize in medical loans.

And it is half-price in Mexico if you want to take that risk. There are plenty of good and bad surgeons there.

I do understand this, however, for someone like me, being 23 years old and experiencing the health-related issues I am already having, not to mention what's worse - What's to come if I can't get it taken care of - I am desperate for this surgery. I am not willing to take a chance in Mexico, nonetheless. I would not put my life at that great a risk.

As for the "inexpensive" surgery, if you would be interested in paying the $16,000 for me to have it, please feel free. I, on the other hand, could not afford that in many, many moons...no matter how long I saved up. I'm just beginning to feel that ping of "ouch" in my heart, as I hear "No" so many times. I mean, it's hard hearing it over and over again...regarding financing, my insurance won't do it, etc. etc. etc. I am trying to stay strong, but I can't help but get down about this.

This whole constest wa a scam!!!! The winner tried to get her free lap-band and DR. VUONG backed out of the deal. Mr. Vuong, you shouldn't put together a contest giving people false hope and then they waste their money to fly down to Texas and stay in a hotel. You announced them as the winner and then when they try and contact you, you never return calls until months later, when you tell them you are not able to due it because of your financial situation? You are a doctor! That is a load of crap! I hope that other people considering weight loss surgery see this post and realize you are a liar and go to a different doctor!
