IMHO, this is an excellent and informative read about the lapband. It goes into a great many detail about the surgery, the procedure, pre and post-op expectations, the psych exam, and what to expect and what do to following the surgery.

 

"Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band: Everything You Need to Know Before and After Surgery to Lose Weight Successfully", by Dr. Swell. I got it for my Kindle from Amazon.

 

Has anyone read it? Thoughts?

I read this before surgery, the person who completed my psych exam has this as a required reading. Me being the OCD person I am read everything I could get my hands on before surgery and still do to this date. My thoughts are the more informed I am the more successful I am. When I wasn't losing weight as quickly as I thought I should be I did my internet research to make sure I was eating the right things. I keep reading we are only suppose to eat 3 meals a day, no snacks and we should be satisfied. I do not think I am at my "sweet spot" they talk about because I still feel like I have to tell myself, "No Diane, you have had enough calories today." The more informed we are the more successful we will be, the one thing the books do not say is the band has a "mind of it's own" Some days things go down and some days they don't. That's my two cents.
