Excellent handbook for new and longtime bandsters! I'm a 47-year-old male who's been banded five years and at goal for four. I enjoyed this book, which is a very good companion to your band "journey". It's written in straightforward English and also offers wonderful medical illustrations that, among other things, show just how the band and port sit in your body. The authors take you step-by-step through the decision to get banded, preparing for surgery, etc. in a very rational and detailed fashion. I found no key points with which I disagreed.
Lap-Band Companion This is a VERY GOOD BOOK with LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION in it. It is easy to read and understand and answered a lot of questions and made me aware of somethings I didn't even think of. A MUST HAVE for ANYONE even thinking about this type of surgery. I am sharing it with everyone I can.
LAP-BAND COMPANION I FOUND THIS A HELPFULL AND INFORMATIVE BOOK TO READ BEFORE I HAD MY LAPBAND SURGERY. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS SURGERY.
Lap band review The book is very informative, full of information. If you are thinking about surgery it will start at the very beginning. It will talk about eating as well.
Good information I received this book 3 days before lapband surgery. Very accurate information and lots of patient stories. They give a realistic stories about life with the band. They also give a list of doctors round the country.
