I don't remember the name of mine but if you go to Amazon.com and type in lapband or bariatric surgery you will find out. That is where I got mine.

I can't remember the title but there is one written by Jessie Ahroni that is wonderful. She is banded herself and has degrees up the ying yang on nutrition and health care. I'm lucky I don't need her book, she's my fill nurse

Dr. Ortiz wrote a book and I think it's called Lapband For Life.

Experience tells me to forget the book and keep reading and researching different threads and posts here at LBT! much more useful, complete and updated than any book.

I have Dr. Ortiz book Lap Band for Life and it is awesome! It tells you everything you want to know for where the lap band came from and also pre and post op steps which include nutrition, fills, etc.

You can only get it on Amazon.com

Both of the books are very good references. Yes, some of the posts can be helpful, some are not. Lots of differing opinions....

I like books. I have read several good books recently, "You:On a Diet" by Mehmet Oz; "Weight loss surgery For Dummies" "Lapband..." by Jessie Ahroni; and "The Insulin Resistance Diet"

What I like about books is that the ones I read are by people in the medical field who know what they are talking about on the best ways to lose weight and/or succeed with lapband surgery. This board is great for opinions and shared experiences, but its good to get information from experts as well.

I have read all these books cover-to-cover but I keep them by my bed and read a little bit out of them every few nights, just to remind myself of the best and healthiest ways to do this.

Just MY opinion:)
