Anyone up for letting me interview them this weekend?



Recommended Posts

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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
