Anyone up for letting me interview them this weekend?

I have a website that's about life and weight loss with a lap band. I'd love to do a couple of phone interviews this week with people who have had lap bands for at least six months. You can have your anonymity or not - your call. I'll type up the interview and send it to you. If there's anything in there you really want out, i'll be happy to pull it out.

Here's the site:

Love My Lap Band!

My blog is pretty new but I'm getting a decent number of hits and I want to begin expanding dramatically what I'm doing. And you know as well as I do, that people considering a band are most interested in hearing from others who already have one.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hmmm, no takers. I'm not looking for anything dramatic here. I just want to ask you questions about how it feels, how it impacts how you eat, and how it's changed your life - that kinda thing. So that people who are researching gastric banding for the first time can begin to have a real sense of how it feels and how it impacts your life.

It'll be less than a half hour and I'll send you a link to my professional website so you know more about me personally.

Hopefully, just one or two of you want to spread the word a little bit more.

Sorry no one is responding - I have my surgery tomorrow, give me 6 months and I would love to be interviewed!

I'll keep you in mind. This is actually going to be the first interview I do on this site, so I want it to be someone that has some real experience with the band.

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow! I'm so jealous!

takers, so let's do it. Drop me a pm and let me know when you have a half hour to talk. I'll send you a message with my professional website so you know who I am personally. I'm here in California, so I'm guessing that I'm three hours behind you.

I look forward to this. :(

Thank you for being willing!!

Do you still need someone? I've had my band for about a year, and am now working on maintaining. Umm I dont mind sharing what Ive been through though, but Im in Texas.
