has anyone read any good books about lap banding? i want to be like an expert on this stuff and love to read anyway (books are just better than reading a web page). i've seen a few on amazon and in stores but was just wondering if any are worth while. thanks

I know Muhammad Ali daughter wrote a book on her lap bad experience. That the only one I know about.

"The Lap Band Solution" is a good one. Sorry I don't know the author.

The book is "The Lap Band Solution: A Partnership in Weight Loss"....the author is Dr. Paul O'Brien. Hope this helps.

I like "Weight Loss surgery for Dummies" I still reference it and I'm

10 months out.

Hang in there!

I have Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery by Patt Levine and Michele Bontempo-Saray. It has SOME good information, but is mostly a cookbook with foods for after surgery. It is an OK book, I love to cook, but some of the stuff they suggest - wow, not something I would try.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: Achieving Permanent Weight Loss with Minimally Invasive Surgery by Jessie H Ahroni PhD, ARNP

This is a very basic book on Lap Band. I got it for my DH and children to read (adult children) so that they can be supportive and helpful as I transition to a new way of life. It is written in plain easy to understand language.

The book I purchased is "Lap band For Life." by Ariel Ortiz Lagardere

I like the book.

thanks everyone for the suggestions. i'll deffinately check them out!

i got this one from my library and some of the recepies look ok but it killed me how there were instructions for each thing were "lap band, weeks 1-4: puree". yummm, nothin like a chicken milkshake:smellie:

Yeah, I can't wait to start the baby food stage!
