Want To Recommend An Excellent Book On Lap Banding



Recommended Posts

I am still in the pre op stage, waiting to hear from my surgeon on when I can expect to be scheduled. In the meantime, I've been doing as much research as possible on my own, particularly in dealing with my feelings right now. The better informed I am, the less anxiety I tend to have.

Anyway, I happened across a book on my Nook titled Fighting Weight by Kahliah Ali. Kahliah is one of Muhammed Ali's six daughters whose life, other than having a celebrity father, is very similar to my own.

This book is the best resource I have read yet, on what to expect and how to prepare myself. There are no recipes in this book... but a good portion of it is information provided by Ms. Ali's surgical team.

I cannot recommend this book enough!

Good thoughts to all,

I read this book too, and it was nice to hear first person experience. I really recommend you purchase "Bandwagon" by Jean McMillan, it is the most comprehensive book about pre-op, post-op and everything in between.

Bandwagon, by our very own Jean McMillian.

You have a question and she's sure to answer it. You can also find her articles at LBT magazine thread.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
