MamaHerm 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Hi all! I just read a book titled Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band: Everything You Need to Know Before and After Surgery to Lose Weight Sucessfully. It's written by Robert W. Sewell, MD, FACS, and Linda Rohrbough. I found it to be very informative. It explains how the band functions, what to expect before and after surgery, fills, complications, lifestyle changes, skin care after surgery, plastic surgery, and a chapter that addresses the people who live with bandsters. It will be one of my tools to help me during my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MamaHerm 0 Posted April 28, 2008 I bought it at Barnes and Noble. If they don't have it in stock, they can probably order it for you. Its ISBN is 978-1-60094-002-6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissWilde 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Sounds excellent! I just checked on Amazon UK you can get it there too! I am gonna order it as soon as I get paid! I have been reading a book called shrink yourself by roger gould. Its about the mental aspects of compulsive eating I am finding it very helpfull! Its really helping me as I hope to try and tackle the metal aspect of eating before I get banded, though it might make the journey a bit less bumpy!

beckn 2 Posted April 29, 2008 Hi Katie, I ordered mine on Amazon the other day and it should arrive in a couple of days. Thanks for the info. I am quite a reader and this will help me while I wait for my surgery date which is May 12th. I noticed Amazon had several books about Lap Band and some cook books too. That is good to know. Thanks again, Becky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
