Has anyone read this book? I was looking to purchase it and I was wondering if anybody found it useful and informative. Thanks

I bought it a few weeks ago. I feel that I've learned most everything on this site that is in the book. There are some new things I learned in there though. I like the fact that I can take it to read when I can't be on the computer. i.e. my daughter won't let me have the computer, or my little ones HAVE to go to Mc Donald's play land. I'm about 3/4 way through it. If you do get it you have to understand on your own the little differences between LB and Bypass. Cuz they lump the two together sometimes when it shouldn't be. Like for example dumping, LBers don't do that but they say if you eat sugar you might... So you just gotta know some things on your own.

It's easy reading. It's easy to take with you. I enjoy it--it doesn't hurt my brain. But it is a pricy book.

Hope that helps.

I got "lapband for life" by dr. Ariel ortiz. It was geared toward lapband living before and after surgery. Great book.

Thanks for the tips on the book. I ordered it a few days ago. I'm looking forward to reading it.
