From the Author When I began my weight loss journey in 2003, I had no idea that it would lead to all of this. I only wanted a way to lose weight and get myself together. I had been fighting obesity my entire life, and I was desperate for a long-term solution that didn't involve starving myself, being obsessed with food, and regaining weight every time I stopped dieting. At 5 feet 8 inches tall, I hit a high of 255 pounds during college. I was able to successfully lose some weight, even a lot of weight, when I dieted, but the weight always came back when I stopped dieting. I began seriously considering weight loss surgery because of a friend of mine. Since getting the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (lap-band), he'd been losing weight and was looking better than I'd ever seen him. After doing a small bit of research, I decided that the lap-band could be my own ticket to controlling my eating and my weight. I got the band in 2003, and assumed that I could easily figure out what I needed to know by searching the internet when I had questions. I had thought there would be unlimited sites talking about the lap-band, providing social support and information and encouragement to all of the lap-band patients like me who were so dedicated to losing weight but needed a helping hand. Boy, was I wrong! There weren't that many resources available, and the ones that were there weren't that useful. They didn't have the information I needed, or they didn't have a friendly, welcoming vibe that made me want to go back. I wanted a place to go to communicate with other lap-band patients. I wanted to learn from them, be able to ask my questions and receive advice and suggestions from people who'd already been exactly where I was. That's why I started LapBandTalk.com almost immediately after my surgery in 2003. I want all of the lap- band patients out there, and the people who are considering the lap-band as a tool to fight obesity, to have a place to go for the assistance and answers they need, starting from before surgery and for as long as they want to continue the lap-band lifestyle and stay healthy. LapBandTalk.com took off beyond anything I'd ever imagined, and I realized that patients who were interested in or had gotten other weight loss surgery procedures had similar needs. I started VerticalSleeveTalk.com and other boards for different procedures.
