Very informative guide... by J. Kinzie (VA)  3 Stars
July 10, 2009
This book was very informative... actually, a little too much information for my taste (some of it was just down right gross)...I get why they want you to be well-informed, but dang! And a month long liquid diet surgery? NO thank you!
I think I'm gonna stick to losing weight the old fashion way.
Hats off to those of you who choose this method of weight loss! It sounds just awful to me.

Excellent handbook for new and longtime bandsters! by Banded in 2003 (Canada) 4 Stars
October 25, 2008
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.
