From the Introduction
Lap-band surgery offers adjustability that other bariatric procedures do not — and with that flexibility comes its own set of experiences: the fills and unfills, the learning to eat in new ways, the long-term management that the procedure requires. The writers here describe that process with the kind of detail that only comes from living it.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty accounts describe the decision to pursue lap-band surgery, the placement procedure, and the months and years that followed: the band adjustments, the dietary learning curve, the results and the complications, and for some, the eventual decision to revise or remove the band. Writers are frank about what the procedure delivered and what it did not.

Who it's for

For those considering lap-band surgery, those currently managing life with a band, and family members who want to understand a procedure whose long-term realities are more complex than early expectations suggested.
