Has anyone read this book? I was looking at purchasing it and I was wondering how informative and useful it was. Thanks

Hi Jenn

Yes that is a pretty good one and I used it a lot early out as a guideline & quick go to resource.It covers all the main WLS types so its great that way.

The other books I bought were RNY specific so not helpful for you.

Be sure to post the question of books on the lap band forum and the girls will pop back with what they found useful - I found my largest selection came from amazon.ca in comparison to shopping chapters online.

take care

Great book - easy to read and lots of info. Only wish I had gotten it pre-op! I was kinda out of the loop until two weeks post-op--- didn't know about these message boards and all the great support and info available here.
