A good introduction to the band that would have been great a few years ago, but by now most overweight folks have some familiarity with the procedure. I was in the middle of being evaluated for the band when the book came out and I didn’t learn a thing.

Rocker Ann Wilson was a paid spokesperson for the band, and she did the talkshow circuit with her surgeon. I was banded last week and it’s not as smooth as Ms. Ali relates. Best info source: [...].

I didn’t really care about her experiences with her father. I just wanted to know about her experiences with lap band surgery. I should have just bought the second half of the book!

Khaliah’s story touched my heart, and I enjoyed reading about her experiences. The way her feelings were openly expressed gave me new insight into my own struggle with self-worth and weight control. (Perfect title, by the way!) The information shared by Drs. Fielding and Ren was easy to understand and very helpful, too. I would recommend this book to others.

I bought this book because it was co-written by my surgeon, but I didn’t get much out of it. Not terribly inspiring or well written.
