Check out this article on Governor Christie and the Lap-Band. Feeling a little famous at the moment

Congratulations! You're a good ambassador - thanks for spreading the word about WLS!

congratulations....you've helped a LOT of people Alex.....thanks a BUNCH from one of them

At least it wasn't page 6.....

Way to go Alex. You look great by the way! You have been there for so many. We thank you!!!!!

Yay Alex! Looking good Brooklyn! Christie looked way bigger than 350 tho. I think they're not being truthful about his starting weight.

A sex scandal?!

Congratulations Alex!

Alex, I'm glad you were featured. But the article would have been so much better if they focused on more success stories like yours and how you made the band work for you. To me the article was too negative. It's true that it's not an easy fix and there can be complications. But it IS a fix and many compliant banders find their lives totally transformed, all for the better. Anyway, although I would have liked the article to be more positive, it was still a good way to get some info out to the public. And you look fit and fantastic!!!!

Congratulations Alex!

Congratulations Alex!

Thank you for all you do. I think the article leaned towards the negative side regarding the lap band. It's only a tool. I give you a lot of credit because the lap band takes a great deal of discipline in order to LOSE the weight and KEEP the weight off.

Blessings,

Kathleen

High five!

Well, duhhh!! You ARE a celebrity, Alex.... And I never really saw a picture of you until now... Can we say HOTTIE?!!

Was kinda bummed out because it was leaning so negatively towards the band. Also, Mitchell Roslin was my sister's surgeon.

Way to go Alex !!! Thanks for being our "voice" for WLS patients !!! I agree with the above post about the article being so negative. Where was all the success stories and positive comments ? Im almost 3 yrs out and I still can't come up with anything negative !! Where are the stories on that ??

It really stinks that the media is always out to crucify the Lap-Band. There are an equal # of WLS "failures" with the Sleeve or Bypass. There isn't a "perfect" weight loss surgery, yet. It's easy to blame a medical device, not so easy to blame staples or sutures.
