Anyone read any good Lap Band books?



Recommended Posts

I would like to purchase a few Lap Band books to read this winter. I have read a few posts that mention a few books, but I can't seem to remember them. Please tell me the titles (and authors if you know) of the ones you like. Cook books are welcome, too as long as they are specifically for Lap Banders.

Thanks everyone!:D

There are several out there that are informational, but as an inspirational book I liked "Fighting Weight" by Aaliyah Ali (Muhammed Ali's daughter). It is an easy read and available electronically for download on the Sony Reader (great little gadget, I love it because I can have so many books with me at once!). Of course it is available at Borders, Barnes & Noble or on Amazon too. :lol:

I also bought other books including the cookbook mentioned above and Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies, and the Weight Loss Surgery book by the doctors of Big Medicine. I was considering buying the book by Dr. Ortiz as well to add to the library. At this point not sure if I will gain any more information than I already have though. :D

Best of luck!

I have quite a list going now! I found a few other threads, but you mentioned a title or two that had not yet been mentioned, so I am really glad I started a new thread! Must be new recently published titles. Any more suggestions?

Thanks everyone!!!

      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?
