This book was very informative and an accurate description of what will happen before and after surgery. It gave excellent advice on dealing with the insurance company, what to expect before and after surgery and the changes you will have to make in order for the band to work. If you only purchase one book on Lap-Band Surgery, this should be the one!

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.

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.

This is one of a couple of books that I ordered to gain more knowledge on the lapband procedure. It was a great reference guide and answered many questions.

I got this book right after I had my AGB. I wish I had got it before! But still I love the book! It really helped me, and still does! I find myself reading some of the other people's stories before I go to sleep at night. I really do think if your thinking about the lap-band, or going to have it. Get this book! It will help answer your questions, before as well as after. Good Luck!!! And happy reading!

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.

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.

this is a great book if you are getting the lap band. i highly recommend this book if you are getting one.
