Lapband is another weight loss option. I like how this book approached lapband surgery as a positive alternative route and not as a desperate last recourse for weight loss.

I gave this book to a sister who is really struggling to lose the weight. She has tried every diet but nothing worked for her so this option just might give her that. It's a great gift with complete information to help her weigh things out.
