Summary of post: The Houston Chronicle recently caught up with Khalia Ali to discuss her new book on gastric banding and weight loss.
Several times in the past, we have blogged about Khalia Ali and her efforts to educate the public on Lap-Band surgery. Khalia is still hard at work as the spokesperson for gastric banding surgery.
The Houston Chronicle recently ran a story about Khalia’s new book, Fighting Weight, in which she tells the story of her struggle with weight and her choice to use gastric banding surgery.
Article excerpt:
After the birth of her son, she ballooned to 335 pounds and had her share of embarrassing experiences — breaking chairs and uncomfortable airplane rides. At the peak of her weight, she ran into her father at a charity event. “He was happy to see me, but concerned. He knew from the way I looked that I lost my balance,” she writes in Fighting Weight (Collins, $22.95), her book about weight struggles and her experience with gastric banding.
