Product Description:
If you are one of the 40 million Americans overweight to the point of recommended surgical intervention, the Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB or "the band") may be the safest, most effective weight-loss method for you.
Unlike conventional weight-loss surgery, which can lead to serious medical complications and nutritional deficiencies, the AGB is a minimally invasive procedure that leaves the digestive system completely intact. Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band provides a comprehensive weight management program, whether you're considering or preparing for the procedure or already living with the band. Expert laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Robert Sewell and "patient-expert" Linda Rohrbough evaluate all the promises, hype, and misinformation about this popular surgical solution--including preparation, the procedure itself, and the required post-op lifestyle changes.
Drawing from interviews with dozens of AGB patients, you'll hear of the particular challenges with the band, success stories, and even the medical "miracles" (such as remission of type 2 diabetes)--alongside expert insight from nutrition, exercise, and psychology authorities.
Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band is the essential guide to help you commit to a healthy regime and affect the lifestyle changes to lose weight and manage your hunger--for the rest of your life.

Recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery: Delicious Dishes for Nourishing the New You (Healthy Living Cookbooks) [Paperback] Review

Recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery: Delicious Dishes for Nourishing the New You [Paperback]Post-surgical patients (both gastric bypass and band) are supposed to eat at least 60g of protein every day.So why are many of these recipes so skimpy on the protein?I expected more useable fare from a book that touts itself as "nourishing the new you".As it stands, I will only use maybe a quarter of the recipes in this book -- very disappointing.The High-Protein Cookbook is a much better selection, in my opinion.

Product Description:
Learn how to eat right after weight loss surgery.
In the past decade or so, there have been explosive increases in both the incidence of severe obesity and weight loss (bariatric) surgery.It has been shown that the incidence of bariatric surgical procedures has increased over 600% in the last decade.It is estimated that approximately 200,000 Americans (and another 200,000 adults world wide) will undergo a bariatric operation in 2006.This dramatic increase in operative cases is in part a testament to the safety and efficacy of the currently performed surgical procedures including the roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, and the biliopancreatic diversion (with or without duodenal switch).
Weight loss surgery is not a magic bullet, but with life-long positive lifestyle habits, including a healthy diet, you may be able to enjoy vibrant health you've never felt before.Once the surgery is over, there is a lifelong maintenance program to ensure not only that you keep the weight off, but that your body gets the right balance of nutrients.When you can only eat as much food as you can hold in your hand at a sitting, it's vital that you are eating the right foods and taking the correct supplements to nourish your body for life. What sets Recipes After Weight Loss Surgery apart from previous cookbooks is the combined expertise of Margaret Furtado, MS, RD, LD/N and Lynette Schultz, a combination of almost 40 years' experience in clinical nutrition and the culinary arts, respectively. Together, they'll help you navigate your way through the sometimes turbulent waters after your weight loss surgery, and will provide you with general clinical guidelines after your procedure, as well as helpful hints for easing your transition from surgery to your new, healthy lifestyle.With sections on home entertaining and eating-on-the-run, Ms. Furtado and Ms. Schultz will help you to feel like a person, rather than a patient, after your life-altering weight loss surgery.
