Hi everyone, I just want to make a book recommendation. I hope this doesn't sound like an advertisement! I am in my pre-surgery phase and so am just beginning this journey. My fifteen year-old daughter brought home a copy of a book called "Teenage Waistland" from her book fair last friday. She said picked it up because she liked the cover (it's pink, can't blame her) and she read the flap, so bought it for her mom. very touching. Although this book is about teens, it's probably the only piece of fiction out there about people who are going through the lapband process. I'm about halfway through and am definitely enjoying it very much and learning a lot too! Just thought I'd put it out there
