Hey all.

I have been looking around here at all the bookstores and I haven't been able to find ANY books specifically on lapband.

I have seen some online but do not have a way to order things online.

Does anyone have any old LAPBAND books they don't need anymore.

I keep finding books on weight loss surgery in general but none on lapband.

If you have any books on Lapband/gastric banding please Private message me. I would SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO appreciate it.

Thanks so much.

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..

wasnt trying to be rude just frustrated -.-

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.

i didnt even realize i was being rude and i'm sorry i ever asked...sorry -.-

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.

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.

Thank you eazes. I appreciate the help. If you do find the website I would love for you to PM me with it. Thanks once again, it means a lot.

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,

Froggi-

I've decided that I'm getting rid of my WLS for Dummies book. If you want it, PM me.

P.S. I don't think YOU were the rude one here. :redface:

thanks mac someone already sent me the wls for dummies book sooooooo find someone else :redface: thanks though

some of the people on this thread were mighty awesome thanks for the help :redface:

I was able to borrow these books from my local library.

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.

My library is hit or miss. I'm going to check them out though because the local bookstores have NO wls books and I can't tell from reading the info on Amazon which are the good ones and which aren't.
