So, Jen Jen...how did yesterday go?

Morning Jen Jen! Inquiring minds want to know...how did the meeting with the casting people go yesterday? You looked fantastic!! Love and hugs, Jersey

Hi Jersey, Thanks! I think it went well. The guy said I was really good, whatever that means. They asked questions and I answered. I also took a pair of before pants and held them up. I can fit into the one leg so it is pretty dramatic when I hold them up. I printed my profile and some other before pictures I have and took that so they could see the changes. They wanted to know: - what the catalist was that led me up to making the decision. - my story of becoming obese - how my life has changed - was I happy with the decision - what would I change They also asked if I was going to pursue plastics and I said after I reach goal. They asked if I would be comfortable "showing the skin" and I said yes. I really do not care if the whole world sees the jiggles. I think it would be a great part of the education process. SO many people seem to have such issues with the way the skin looks. But what would happen, what happens when you take the air out of a balloon ... that is the same thing that happens when you take the fat out of the skin. The project is for a pilot docu-series for TLC. My surgeon is part of a father/son team, so it will feature their practice and patients. They are looking for all stages, pre, post, those trying to decide if it is right for them, people seeking plastics, etc.. I think it will be a great POSITIVE project for WLS. My tape is being sent to the producers and then they will decide if they want me. They are going to try to finish the pilot by the first week in October. So, I would think that I would hear something soon. God Bless! Jen

Jen: Thanks so much for letting us know how it went! I was thinking about you last night and was really anxious to hear how the experience was! That would be so fantasic if you could be included in the show. I participated in a grad student dissertation but TV is so much cooler and everyone loves the TLC channel! Girl...you look so fabulous I am sure they will pick you! Here's hoping, anyhow! Have a great day and, again, thanks for the update! Hugs, Jersey

Please let us know what they decide. I would really like to see your results from all the hard work portrayed in a positive light. That's awesome, keep up the good work. Roni

Sounds like you did really well. It would be fun to see you on TV

What an amazing opportunity! I will keep good thoughts for you and look forward to hearing about your move into stardom, what a great way to share your WLS success. ~Tiffany

Oh Jen, that is so exciting for you. I bet they pick you. I'll be so happy to know a TV star personally. Karla 337/216/150
