I read several -but this is my favorite:

Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band by Robert Sewell. Restless Monkey has recommended that one before too. It covers what to expect before, during and after surgery. I've found myself going back and reading to brush up on things I may have forgotten.

I'll be curious to see if you get any other suggestions.

From my point of view you can go through Ariel Ortiz Lagardere

book - Lap-Band for Life

I can't remember the exact name of the book, but it was written by Khalia Ali, Mohammed's daughter. I had just had my 2nd fill when I read the book and in her book she described exactly what I was going thru. Needless to say, I couldn't put the book down. I've recommended to friends who are considering the band.

bambam is right, I did read and like that one a lot! What I did was go to amazon and read people's reviews, then pick a couple top rated ones that seemed to address what I was interested in learning. Some are heavy on promotion, some are more medical, some have recipes etc ....

If you don't want to BUY from amazon it's still a great resource for info about the books!
