5 Stars Everything I needed and more
If you are thinking of having weightloss surgery this is the book for you. It has everything from pre-op visits to Md and weightloss team, to 1 year post op. You will be well versed when you meet with the Dr. for the 1st time and you will know what questions you need to be asking. The book has been extremely helpful for me and is written very simply and is easy to understand. Great read. I highly reccommend this book, Thanks Barbara Thompson and Marina Kurian.

This book is wonderful. It answers all the questions you want answered and even some that you didn’t know to ask. It is easy to understand and even great for family members who want to know what to expect after their loved one has surgery….

5 Stars Great Reference Book
I bought this book prior to my July 2009 GBS surgery. It is the best book on the subject, by far. The sections are broken down in order with a lot of information on every aspect of GBS/Lap Band you would need to know prior to and post surgery. I loaned it to a friend of mine and wish I had kept it as it is a very useful guide to everything from food, water, protein, post surgery emotions, exercise etc. It is a great reference book!
