  1. Hey Becky! I read your post and the fact that you've lost that amount of weight is truly phenominal! I am also a lap-bander and had my band put in about a year and a half ago. I have lost 100 pounds and feel amazing. I am a junior @ UNT and am majoring in journalism. For one of my journalism classes I am writing my final paper about lap-band and need some quotes from people like you who have had the surgery done. I am especially interested in saying something about the plastic surgery, and would love anything you could say. My professor requires that we get our contacts' full names, age, phone number and hometown purely for reference, so if you would be interested in sending me some of your thoughts, I'd need that as well. You can email me @ elizgillette09@yahoo.com as I know it's fishy to put up personal information on the web. Thank you!! And congratulations!!!
  2. Hey! Thank you for getting back to me!! I will need your contact information in order for me to turn in my paper. [your full name, age, hometown, email and a number that you can be reached at] if you don't mind. The story is for my class, and it's my professors policy for us to have a complete list of contacts for our stories. If you don't feel comfortable giving me the info on here, please don't hesitate to email me at elizgillette09@yahoo.com I really appreciate you getting back to me so soon! And yes, I def. agree, plateaus can be reached. I hit one for about 4 months and just started losing again after another fill. Very exciting!! Get back to me!
  3. Hey! Thank you so much for letting me use your blog. I haven't written the story yet, but I am in the process of doing it as we speak. It's due May 2nd. I will need your contact information because my journalism professors require that we keep a list of sources and turn it in with our papers. I'll need your email and a number that you can be reached at, though I doubt my professor will call you. If you feel uncomfortable posting your information here, please email me @ elizgillette09@yahoo.com Thank you so much for your help! I did get the chance to look at your blog and your pictures are amazing! I'm so excited for you! Liz
  4. Hey guys! I got my lap-band put on a little less than 2 years ago, June 22nd will be my 2 year anniversary! I have lost 90 pounds, and am feeling WONDERFUL. I am a college junior @ the university of north texas, and am writing a final paper for my journalism class about lap-band. Just ALL about it, and need some quotes from ANYONE who would be willing to just give me a little blurb about their success, their failures, their struggles, how things have changes since surgery.. just ANYTHING, really. I can be reached @ elizgillette09@yahoo.com and would absolutely love to get some of you guys in my paper! There wouldn't be a better source to talk to than a fellow lap-bander!! It wouldn't take long, just send me anything I could use and your full name, age and hometown. Thank you so much! If you have any questions- let me know!! You can also send me a message. Liz
