Topic: FILMING WITH DISCOVERY CHANNEL
Discovery channel are filming  a medical science documentary series called 'Inside Extraordinary Bodies' . One of the Episodes focuses on obesity. We are currently looking for contributors to take part in this documentary. Ideally looking for people who weighs 500 lbs plus and waiting to have surgery or someone who has recently had surgery and lost a large amount of weight (ideally this person will have been over the 600 lb mark before surgery).

Those who wish to take part , must be able to talk openly and candidly about their condition. Stories will be handled with the care and sensitivity they deserve and will be used in an imformative way, it is NOT a freak show!.

If you are interested please contact me directly by email [email protected]

Topic: I'm confused about the VA/DC event...
There's a post (dated last October???) that says we can't register for the event online anymore? I'm hoping I just misunderstood. If so, where can I find the code for the discount?

Thanks!

Topic: For those of you that don't take dumping on sugar seriously or
better yet, don't think you do dump on sugar so you think you can't dump on it.  Boy have I got a story for you.  I am one of those post ops that can get away with some sugar so I decided to pu**** with dangerous results.  My post should serve as a warning, don't let this happen to you.

Topic: RE: Self-Pay OPtions w/Dr. Afram
I was not aware of that. My surgery is on 08-19-08.They assured me that they would be there every step of the way. The staff talked about how they would come and visit you in the hospital, and the whole nine yards. Anyone else out there with some more insight please post your comments, I'm very much interested in your thoughts.
