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.

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!

      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.

        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!
