It is so amazing to me how you are asking someone to send you a book but you are not doing it in a kind way. If I really needed something I would list my situation and be polite when some sends me a post stating for me to check other places like the library. You apparently have not tried to go to your library. If you have you should state that in a nice way so someone would be willing to help you. I also think that the information of looking on the internet to get information is an awesome idea but do you say you appreciate that information no, you just want someone to give it to you for free. Sorry, I hope you get your book.

ok i am looking for anyone who has an old lapband book they could manage to send to me for free yes, i dont have any way to buy stuff online and that's the only place i have been able to find lapband books.

If you cant afford a book then do what most people would do. get the information off the internet or at your library.

Times are hard for everyone with high gas prices and postage is very high..

Blah???

I am sure everyone who has a book or books plans to keep it/them for future reference. And I doubt your attitude will help your chances.

Good luck...you'll need it.

Jesus Christ People, sorry did I swear? Give the kid a break, she was only asking for help if you can help her. She has no credit cards, no debit cards, no way of paying for it, she asked nicely but people weren't getting her drift.

Out of the bagillion of us on Lap Band Talk I think one of us could help the girl out. I remember being 22 and living on my own and it wasn't easy and much harder now and getting surgery on top of it. My ranting is over and that's all I'm going to say on that matter, thank you, brandyII.:P

I don't have one to spare but I do have an idea.

If it's a matter of not having a credit/debit card you could always send a money order. I know Amazon.com will allow you to put in your checking account information and they will debit you're account that way or you could order it and send in payment. They just will not ship until payment is received. If this is not possible for you search around the net for lap band information. That is where I got majority of my info. I know there is a website that has books online that you can read. I mean you can read the whole book. I can't remember right now what the website is but if I find it I'll PM it to you.

Good luck on your search.

Froggi, since your last post was so nicely and politely worded, email me your address and your book of choice and I will order one for you and have it sent to you. This is my one and only gift to you. I have a 23 year old daughter myself, and fortunately she is self-supporting and doing quite well thanks to the fact that her parents put her through a good college.

What I would like you to do in return is to "pay it forward" and give the book to someone else who might need it when you no longer have any use of it.

Good luck and best wishes to you,

Lynn (lpaar@yahoo.com)

I grew up in the DC area and know that your libraries rock but in small towns they really suck, I know I miss the good ones I grew up with brandyII.

      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! 😞
