Question:
Suggestion for ALL PRE-OPS

Hey all you pre-ops out there, I wanted to give you a little advice for doing something that will be a tremendous benefit for you in the years to come. Begin a VIDEO DIARY today! I did, and I'm SO happy for doing it. I did an introductary entry introducing myself, then did updates after different DR appts. Then my wife took the video camera to the hospital and taped before and after surgery. I did a couple of entries while in the hospital (during some of my complications...see my profile). And have been doing monthly updates. When I am finished with my weight loss, I plan to offer the video for people who are considering the surgery. I went back a few weeks ago and watched it for the first time since starting. I couldn't believe how HUGE I was and how far I've come. This is SO much better than pictures (I did that too)! Let me know what you think!    — Robby E. (posted on August 19, 2002)

I think its a fantastic idea!! I would have never thought of that. I don't have a video camara but its still one of the best ideas I've heard! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Robby - This is a great idea. I wish I had thought of it also. The pictures I have are a great motivator, but a video would have been much better. - Mike
