Default I'd love to interview a couple people with lap bands.

Hi, my name is Lori and I have a blog about life and weight loss with a Lap Band. I'd love to do a couple interviews with people who have had lap bands for more than six months. The raison d'etre of my blog is to give people who are considering having a lap band procedure a lot information primarily from people who have lap bands as to what life and weight loss is like for them personally.

Basically, I'd call you and we'd talk. I'd type up the interview and email it back to you. if there's anything in there that you find embarrassing, I'll pull it out. We can either use your name, or not - it's the information, not the identity which is important to me. And if you have any questions about me, I'm happy to answer them.

I'm getting a huge number of hits from people who are tying to make this decision, and you could help do so. Just drop me a line here, and I'll get back to you fairly quickly. Oh, and if you find this thread several months down the line, I'd still like to hear from you, because that's what my blog is going to be about - what people who have the lap band say about their experience.

Here's the blog, if you'd like to check it out first:

I hope to hear from you.

Default Good luck...

Lori,

I'm a gastric bypass patient but wanted to thank you for compiling information regarding lap-band WLS. I initially was contemplating lap-band but due to medical issues gastric-bypass was my best option.

Keep up the great work in getting information to the public! Good luck

Default Oh, I have learned there are reasons for each.

I'm actually going to do a post on that at some point as well. I need to spend some time talking to a physician about that. Once I get this lap band blog in order, I may well tackle gastric bypass because of the differences.

Thanks for the nod of good cheer. And you, too, keep up the good work. This is a great forum and a tremendous resource.
