I heard good things about the big lap band book but it was after I had the band. I guess it is really more geared toward people before surgery. I bought The Pocket Gastric Band Guide for the Kindle and I LOVE IT. It os a great resource short sweet and to the point. Great for after surgery to help keep you on track and understand some of whats going on with your new band.

Not sure if it's on Kindle, but Bandwagon was a GREAT book. Look for Jean McMillan, she's the author, and she's on this site regularly.

If you have a proxy server, you can download books for your kindle or nook on piratebay.org. for free. Not sure how many lapband books r there, but it's worth checking out.

Now if you're part of the FBI and r gunna bust me for getting free books...I never wrote this post....

I got "Living with the Band" by Victoria Ashton for my Kindle. It is her story and not an all about the band book. I find it nice to read of a struggle I can sympathize with. I haven't read the whole book but so far I really like it. I think it was $5.99

I found all the information I needed for free by searching on the Internet for medical research, asking my dr, reading the info he gave me and reading forums like this one to hear about real time issues. While there may be books out there just remember they will be opinions of the author. You should always consult your dr for more individualized information.

I have read the book "Big Book of Lap Band" and thought it was very informative and thought it would make a good "go to" book when I have quick questions or need a boost. It is written by the gentleman who started this website along with a nutritionist who also posts on this website.

I bought this book when I first became serious about getting the band... It helped me understand the procedure a lot and ultimately helped me decide that this was the right option for me.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
