It is so amazing to me how you are asking someone to send you a book but you are not doing it in a kind way. If I really needed something I would list my situation and be polite when some sends me a post stating for me to check other places like the library. You apparently have not tried to go to your library. If you have you should state that in a nice way so someone would be willing to help you. I also think that the information of looking on the internet to get information is an awesome idea but do you say you appreciate that information no, you just want someone to give it to you for free. Sorry, I hope you get your book.

ok i am looking for anyone who has an old lapband book they could manage to send to me for free yes, i dont have any way to buy stuff online and that's the only place i have been able to find lapband books.

If you cant afford a book then do what most people would do. get the information off the internet or at your library.

Times are hard for everyone with high gas prices and postage is very high..

Blah???

I am sure everyone who has a book or books plans to keep it/them for future reference. And I doubt your attitude will help your chances.

Good luck...you'll need it.

Jesus Christ People, sorry did I swear? Give the kid a break, she was only asking for help if you can help her. She has no credit cards, no debit cards, no way of paying for it, she asked nicely but people weren't getting her drift.

Out of the bagillion of us on Lap Band Talk I think one of us could help the girl out. I remember being 22 and living on my own and it wasn't easy and much harder now and getting surgery on top of it. My ranting is over and that's all I'm going to say on that matter, thank you, brandyII.:P

I don't have one to spare but I do have an idea.

If it's a matter of not having a credit/debit card you could always send a money order. I know Amazon.com will allow you to put in your checking account information and they will debit you're account that way or you could order it and send in payment. They just will not ship until payment is received. If this is not possible for you search around the net for lap band information. That is where I got majority of my info. I know there is a website that has books online that you can read. I mean you can read the whole book. I can't remember right now what the website is but if I find it I'll PM it to you.

Good luck on your search.

Froggi, since your last post was so nicely and politely worded, email me your address and your book of choice and I will order one for you and have it sent to you. This is my one and only gift to you. I have a 23 year old daughter myself, and fortunately she is self-supporting and doing quite well thanks to the fact that her parents put her through a good college.

What I would like you to do in return is to "pay it forward" and give the book to someone else who might need it when you no longer have any use of it.

Good luck and best wishes to you,

Lynn (lpaar@yahoo.com)

I grew up in the DC area and know that your libraries rock but in small towns they really suck, I know I miss the good ones I grew up with brandyII.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
