Do you think this book is worth having? We are just starting Lap Bands here at my facility and I would love to have something helpful for patients.
Thanks

I chair the Nanaimo WLS Support Group and the Jessie Ahroni book is considered the "Band Bible" by many Lap Band patients. Many libraries carry it if you want to have a look first. It is very clear and it not only covers early post-op life but focusses on managing the band for the long-term.
