Win a free copy of Khalia Ali's Lap Band book

For those of you old enough to remember, Muhammed Ali was the self proclaimed greatest fighter of all time. Well, one of his daughters, Khaliah Ali has written a book called "Fighting Weight : How I Achieved Healthy Weight Loss with "Banding," a New Procedure That Eliminates Hunger--Forever.”
Her book is about her experience with the Band. At her heaviest, Khaliah Ali, who is 5 feet, 8 inches, weighed 325 pounds and said she'd spent most of her life yo-yo dieting in an attempt to lose the weight. She is down to about 150 pounds after her Lap Band surgery.
We are holding a drawing for a copy of the book for our patients.
To enter simply respond to the comment, and leave your initials and surgery date in your message. If you haven't had surgery yet, leave your initials and the date we first saw you in the office for an evaluation.
We will randomly draw a name from the list this weekend. Good luck!

Wow, two entries already!
By the way, for those of you wishing to keep things more private, you don't have to leave your last name. I suggested leaving first and last initial and surgery date because we can match that up on our database and leave your identity anonymous, if you so desire. If you want to leave your full name, feel free.
Good luck to all those that enter. We will pick a winner this weekend and post the winner of the drawing on the blog page.

It's great to see that this surgery is changing many lives for the better. It sure is changing mine. I love to read and even if I don't win....I'm buying this book. There really aren't a lot of books about the lap band and living with it for life (and different experiences that happen after the band).

My surgery was the best thing that ever happened. I done really well since I got my band. Got sick this year and had to have my band redone after little problem, but everything is going well for me now. I would say to anyone thing about the surgery to go for it. Believe me you will be glad you did.
