Hey all Hope everybody had a wonderful healthy Thanksgiving.

I'm looking for a book on Lap Band, more so something dealing with "living with lapband" I've been looking on Amazon and most of the books I'm seeing is about preparing for surgery, specifics about surgery insurance etc., but I want a reference guid to use after you had surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Dear Sxevan9, Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band is the best weight loss book I have found. It contains " Everything You Need to Know Before & after Surgery to lose Weight Successfully". Borders has it. I'm reading it for the 3rd time. Good Luck, Hasta Pronto, George:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I was going to tell you the same book. I have post-it flags on information that I want to be able to find fast. I have read it twice and referenced it several times. I got it on Amazon.< /p>

Thanks for the advise. I ordered the book yesterday and it was shipped today, from Amazon. The funny thing it was out of stock at every Borders book near my home. Must be a good book.

I have "Lapband for Life" by Dr. Ortiz. You can find it on eBay or Amazon. It prepares you for surgery and life after surgery.

I had been looking for a book as well for me to read. I was banded back in June 208, and have lost quite a bit of weight, but I am looking for some tips to help me continue on in my journey.

I went to Borders, looked through a few books, and I really liked Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. I ordered it from Amazon, and I also order The High-Protein Cookbook: More than 150 Healthy and Irresistibly Good Low-Carb recipes. I ordered the cookbook after reading information and reviews about it from Amazon's website.

By the way, I saved almost half the cost of Borders price for Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. :)

      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.

      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!!
