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.

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!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
