I'd like to read this book - I've heard a lot of good things about it.

IMO - $18-20 is an expensive for a paperback!!

I checked ebay and a few used book sites but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyone have a copy they'd like to get rid of?

I can pay you w/ paypal and I have an account with UPS or will include $$ for shipping.

(If I can't find a used copy, is it worth the $20 ?)

Is that the book by Ortiz? If so, nope, not worth $20.00. But I doubt I would have paid that for the book anyway so maybe it isn't the same. If it is Ortiz' book it's an easy read, leaves out a lot of important info, and skims over much. But it gives a great history of Inamed and his way of doing things.

There really isn't anything in that book that you can't get and in more detail from banded people here.

If it isn't Ortiz' book, I haven't read it. I loaned my copy to a friend and haven't gotten it back yet. I rarely get books back that I loan.

Anytime you want to find used books (and new) or out of print, check out AddALL book search and price comparison. It's a list of thousands of book sellers and you can search a title or author name. Then you can see all the sellers that have that book available. Of course, there is always Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more for used books as well.

I read this book and was unimpressed. but there is a great series for people with bypass that has loads of information that could be usefull to banders. portion wise and lifestyle changes. its from bariatric associates I think I'll have to ask my nutritionist I borrowed it from her.

I got Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies and thought it was quite interesting. I read it after surgery and after I had been on the forum for several months so a lot was old news, but would be good reading for a newbie, uninitiated.

Thanks guys

I'll probably skip it. I've been all over this forum for almost a year, in addition to a few other sites. Sounds like it would just be repetition for me.<O:p</O:p

I'd love to sell it to you, if you're still interested at all, since I read it about 3 times through leading up to and after my surgery. I also have Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. $15 for both, plus shipping?

Thanks guys

Honestly, I think you are doing the right thing. Save your money for something farrrr more useful. Get your surgery, lose weight and write your own book, there ya go!
