Anyone read any good Lap Band books?



Recommended Posts

I would like to purchase a few Lap Band books to read this winter. I have read a few posts that mention a few books, but I can't seem to remember them. Please tell me the titles (and authors if you know) of the ones you like. Cook books are welcome, too as long as they are specifically for Lap Banders.

Thanks everyone!:D

There are several out there that are informational, but as an inspirational book I liked "Fighting Weight" by Aaliyah Ali (Muhammed Ali's daughter). It is an easy read and available electronically for download on the Sony Reader (great little gadget, I love it because I can have so many books with me at once!). Of course it is available at Borders, Barnes & Noble or on Amazon too. :lol:

I also bought other books including the cookbook mentioned above and Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies, and the Weight Loss Surgery book by the doctors of Big Medicine. I was considering buying the book by Dr. Ortiz as well to add to the library. At this point not sure if I will gain any more information than I already have though. :D

Best of luck!

I have quite a list going now! I found a few other threads, but you mentioned a title or two that had not yet been mentioned, so I am really glad I started a new thread! Must be new recently published titles. Any more suggestions?

Thanks everyone!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
