So, I thought I would start a thread where people can post their favorite Banding and weight Loss books. I really liked "Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band" by Robert Sewell. Tell me your favorite!

Lap Band for Life by Dr. Ariel Ortiz

"Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band" This is one of the books that I have been thinking about getting. What do you like about it? I have looked in all the book stores near me and they all say that I have to order it that they don't keep it in the stores. I like to thumb through a book before I buy it and make sure that it is what I want. I don't wnat a cookbook though. Some recipes would be great, but I want much more than that. Do you think that this book would fit what I am looking for?

I ordered it on Amazon. I think you can preview books on there. I like that it gives real people examples in every chapter. It really gives you strategies to get through things. Also, they summarize the strategies in a list at the end of each chapter. Like, one chapter has ways to get rid of head hunger. I feel that this book is the first one that I've read that is truly practical and not just what I would call a lecture.

The owner's manual. The book that comes with the band, inside the box....the one the surgeon is supposed to give you.

This book tells you EXACTLY what the procedure is, how it's performed....tells you EXACTLY what the recommendations are for adjustments - when to fill, when to not fill.

I love it. Was the only book I needed and it was FREE.

My son and his financee gave me "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies" for Christmas. She had even gone through and put sticky notes on certain pages. What a great support group! The book was very easy to follow and gave lots of tips from before surgery, through and years after.
