Lap Band Book

MamaHerm · 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.

Where did you find this book ? It sounds like a real great find.

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.

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!

Hi Katy, where did you find the book? I wonder if it can be found on Amazon? Becky

I bought mine at Barnes & Noble, but I noticed that Amazon has it also.

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
