Good Books anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just finished reading Before and After by Susan Maria Leach and I was wondering if anyone has read anything regarding Lap-band surgery that they would reccomend?

Thanks!

I am in the process of reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It is SOOOO helpful to me. Its not so much about weightloss but more about how our minds work. It has helped me not be so negative and also helped me to accept who am for who am I, not with what I look like. It's still been a very hard road for me. After losing 92 pounds, I found I still hated myself. It has helped me a lot with getting that worthlessness that I have felt out of my mind.

The book "Fighting Weight" is written by Mahammad Ali's daughter and my Dr, George Fielding. It is excellent. I did a search on my libraries' website and came up with alot of books strictly on WLS, not particular to the band. I want to read Dr Ortiz's book. Alot of people have recommended it. I guess I will have to buy it. Carney Wilson wrote two books, "Gut Feelings" and "I am Still Hungry" There is also "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies".

Did you know that there is a "Before and After Website and store online by the same author? It is interesting, but expensive!

This is a really good thread. I love to read. Hope to hear about more good books. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
