Contributors needed for possible lap band book



Recommended Posts

Hi all

After doing an extensive search for myself, there doesn't seem to be much reading material about on peoples personal experience of being banded - how they made the decision, before, during and after the process etc.

I have read the book Fighting Weight by Khaliah Ali with her experience on being banded but that's about all I can find.

So, I was thinking about putting together a book of people's lap band experiences but of course I need people to contribute with their experience.

Just wanting to guage interest and see who would be keen to contribute to this.

If anyone is keen, please let me know. I've got a basic outline of questions as a guide which I'm happy to email to get people thinking about it.

I don't get banded til March but the lack of info on peoples experience with the band has prompted me to try and get a book out there.

This is not inclusive of Australian's - if anyone else out there is interested just let me know.

Would love to help. I have an on-line journal that I have been using to help myself with this journey, so I know that hearing the experience of others when I first started out would have been great.

      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.
