Hey all, so I am looking for some articles/books or cookbooks on lapband. What are your faves?

Amazon has a ton, very reasonable.

Naturally I want to recommend my own books, Bandwagon (strategies for success with the band)and Bandwagon Cookery (a cookbook with food prep strategies, meal planning tips, and 180+ recipes including nutritional stats and ways to adapt each recipe to the various stages of the post-op diet) but I can also recommend:

WLS BOOKS:

Laparascopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, Jessie Ahroni - the author is a band patient and NP so she knows both the patient's point of view and the medical point of view. Just the chapter on how to know if you need an attitude adjustment or a band adjustment is worth the price of the book.

Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band, Robert Sewell, MD & Linda Rohrbough - by far the most comprehensive book I've read about the band (aside from my own, of course). Rohrbough is a band patient and journalist, Sewell is a surgeon, so the material is detailed, clear, and easy to read. It also includes information about the other WLS procedures which I found much easier to understand than anything else I had read.

COOKBOOKS

Recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery, Margaret Furtado & Lynette Schultz

Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery, Pat Levine & Michele Bontempo-Saray
