After doing an extensive search for myself, there doesn't seem to be much reading material about on peoples personal experience of being banded - how they made the decision, before, during and after the process etc.
I have read the book Fighting Weight by Khaliah Ali with her experience on being banded but that's about all I can find.
So, I was thinking about putting together a book of people's lap band experiences but of course I need people to contribute with their experience.
Just wanting to guage interest and see who would be keen to contribute to this.
If anyone is keen, please let me know. I've got a basic outline of questions as a guide which I'm happy to email to get people thinking about it.
I don't get banded til March but the lack of info on peoples experience with the band has prompted me to try and get a book out there.
This is not inclusive of Australian's - if anyone else out there is interested just let me know.

Would love to help. I have an on-line journal that I have been using to help myself with this journey, so I know that hearing the experience of others when I first started out would have been great.
