Video blog #8 - lap band update

Hi all!

Here it is....  Video #8.   I have jumped through the final hoop for insurance.  My weight is over and I expect to be having the surgery the 3rd week of December.   Enjoy the video.

Video blog #7 - 10/29/10

Hi all.   Sorry it's been a while.  I was sort of demoralized after my September lap-band surgeon consult.  It's partially my own fault since I didn't try hard enough to continue losing weight.  I just thought "I'm having surgery, I might as well eat all the stuff I won't be able to eat after surgery."   Wrong.  I put on a couple pounds and got in trouble for it.  However, this month I really tried and lost 11 pounds so things are back on track.

Enjoy video blog #7.

Video Blog #5: Lap-band surgery update and book reviews

Hi all,

I finally have some new on the lap-bad surgery.  I don't have financing yet but, I was starting get depressed and procrastinate so I have decided to move forward.  My consultation with Dr. Terry Simpson is on 8/26.

In this video blog I also review the books, "Eclipse", "Breaking Dawn", "Pilgrims of Rayne", "Brains: A Zombie Memoir" and the UK TV series "Life on Mars".

As always, comments are welcome.

Enjoy,

Michael

Video Blog 4a

Hello all,
This blog post (4a) is basically the same as the one from yesterday (blog post 4).  One of the reasons I'm doing these video blogs is so that I can see myself talk and learn from my mistakes.  By "mistakes" I mean, talking too fast, rambling, etc.  I usually don't edit myself because I feel that takes away from the fun and spontaneity of the video blog, however, I'm doing this for the Leadership Academy so that I can show the before and after as I see it.

I was able to shave the video down from 5min30sec to 2min55sec just by focusing myself and reduce the repetition and not going off on tangents.  I even talked slower and was still able to give the same basic info in about half the time.

Thanks.
Michael
