Welcome to my blog!

Hi, my name is Lori and I’m a filmmaker. This blog is all about life and weight loss with a lap band.

I’ve been on and off diets for years now and I’m getting tired of it. Several months ago, a friend of mine had lap band surgery. I got interested, and started investigating the procedure. I went to all the physicians’ sites. They had great information, but even with the testimonials, I wanted to know much more than was available. So I started meeting with as many people as I could who had lap bands, and what I learned was really exciting. One man used the word “evangelical” to explain just how enthusiastic he is about his.

So, I decided to share the wisdom I’ve encountered. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be taping interviews with people who have had lap band surgeries. I’m going to ask them every question I can about the process and how it’s impacted their life. And then I’m going to put those interviews online for you to see.

In the meantime, I’m going to be linking to books and articles and start sketching out why weight loss and maintenance is so difficult and how weight loss surgery differs from conventional dieting and exercise. Please come back and spend some time with me!
