Hello all!

I have lurked around here for a long time but am getting closer to having the realize band put on. I am a self pay and relatively low BMI for banding (33). The Dr. here is very reasonable imo (about 7-8k) and will do lower BMIs for self pays.

Anyhoo, I publish a local women's magazine and may have the chance to do an advertising trade for my surgery (which would totally rock!) but I'm just hoping that he doesn't want me to publicly announce it in the ads or anything. It's not really something that I'd really be embarrassed of or anything but I'm just wondering if it is something he would want to be part of the ads if I would regret it being so public. Do you think it would be too stressful?

He may not even want that in the ads and I'm surely not going to bring it up but i wanted to be prepared just in case....thoughts?
