As a consultant, I offered support and advice to the management at Apollo to help position, focus, and enhance their public relations for the LAP-BAND AP system and ORBERA gastric balloon. I reviewed their current marketing efforts and provided suggestions for market implementation and increasing patient acceptance.

In 2003, I founded LapBandTalk.com with the mission of helping others achieve the same success I had with weight loss surgery. After struggling with obesity for years, I underwent the procedure and lost 100 pounds, leading to a healthier and fit lifestyle. This experience inspired me to create a platform where individuals could come together and share their stories, experiences, and knowledge about weight loss surgery.As LapBandTalk.com grew, I expanded the WLSBoards.com family to include forums for other popular types of weight loss surgery, including VerticalSleeveTalk.com for gastric sleeve surgery and RNYTalk.com for roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. With over 225,000 active members and 7+ million visits per month, WLSBoards.com has become a hub for information and support for the weight loss surgery community.In 2013, I continued my dedication to the community by launching BariatricPal.com, further increasing our efforts to serve and support weight loss surgery patients. The four WLSBoards.com sites have had a tremendous impact on the weight loss surgery community, and I am proud to have played a role in helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals.
