An American forum on lap-banding. This thread shows heaps of before & after pics. Don't forget to page back & forward - there is over 40 pages of inspiration! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/before-and-after-t4642p 35.html
I have learnt SO MUCH from our own board here, & thought I had read pretty much all there was to know about banding, but I found lots of interesting tips & info from this American ladies' banding blog. http://www.kimswlsjourney.com/4436.html

Check these out everyone!
http://www.weightlosssurgery.ca/video.php?clip=web _lap_agb.wmv
This is a GREAT site. You get to see a 10min video of the lap band surgery via the lapriscope ( I guess that is what it is ) and the surgeon talks you thru it. VERY very interseting!
http:/www.foodtalk.com.au
I also found this interesting. It's Trudy Williams site and she discusses food intake for lap bandits! Post-Op liquids/mushies and once onto solids. She has books that you can order too.
A good general book that I purchased was "Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies" ( yes they have one for us too!. What don't they cover? ) I purchased this book thru Collins Book store ( or you can get it at Angus and Robbinson, any good book store really ) They don't stay on the shelf long I was told so you may need to order it.
Hope these help you newbies!
