Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 My surgery wase televised from the 'last supper', including before and after interviews, the hospital experience, the first day, a wek later...out to lunch, 6 months later, and a year later. When I told my surgeon I ws planning on doing this for tv to let people know that ordinary people do this, people who go the grocery store, to Taget, to neighborhood restaurants, and that it is not just celebrities who do this, and that insurance will pay for it, he thanked me on 2 different occasions. 'When I go to the sate fair and see all those fat people, I could help them, they just don't know it. I hope they see your message. Thank you.' They DID see the message, all over the country! My sspot waas wel promo'd, it brought calls from all over the country to the surgeon's ofice, and referrals were made all over the country. When he did DH's surgery, he thanked me for helping him with his practice...another surgeon is being trained to do WLS, and mine is booked into August. People still stop me in public places to ask 'did I se you on tv?'...I have white hair and red glasses, and I am tall as well as just a 'big' woman...not a mouse, so people see me. Spread the good news and the joy of being alive in your own way...Corrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
