Start Your Own
Gastric Lap-Band Blog

Keeping a personal gastric lap-band blog is a GREAT idea! It will serve as an online diary of your weight loss surgery experience and can align you with a world of online gastric band friends.

If you've never blogged before, know that it's a very easy thing to do!

Blogging is simply the act of writing about your experiences. (Even if nobody ever read what you wrote, it would be therapeutic!)

Having your own blog means having a page on the internet devoted entirely to YOU and your thoughts and feelings. Others can chime in if and when they want.

Having people read and comment on your trials and tribulations after gastric banding surgery (or on your journey to getting it) provides often needed support, encouragement, accountability and the knowledge that you're not alone!

Surround yourself - virtually that is - with other supportive gastric band patients while creating an online account of your weight loss surgery journey. How about getting started right now?!

Start your Gastric Lap-Band Blog...

...by simply filling out the form below. It's that simple.

You'll receive a follow up email from me with the url of your blog so that you can bookmark it and return daily...or as often as you like.

Benefits of Blogging on this website:

  • Blog on this site which already has existing traffic you can share in! (After all, you want people to read what you write, don't you?!)
  • It's free!
  • It's the easiest interface ever! Just type and submit, as often as you like. (See...easy!)
  • Others can comment on your blog just as easily.

You don't have to travel the weight loss surgery journey alone. Find support, inspiration, and motivation from others online! There's lots of people in cyberspace going through the exact same thing YOU are!

Start Your Own Gastric Band Blog

Share your day to day gastric band experiences. Make this the place to celebrate your successes and to vent your frustrations.

Your first post will always be at the top of your blog, so give it your best effort. Think of it as your "profile." You can talk about your starting weight, how much you hope to lose, who your bariatric surgeon is, your surgery date, etc.

Tip: You can always compose your thoughts in a text editor (like NotePad) and then paste into the form below. Click the question mark if you want to learn how to bold.
