This book gives a personal account of someone who had a successful lapband surgery. It also gives information provided by the writer's doctors which is very helpful and useful. Highly recommended for anyone considering lapband surgery like I am. I hope to have my surgery within the next month and plan on re-reading this book when I actually have the surgery. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: a must read for anyone hesitating to have the lapband surgery, 2008-03-23 This book was recommended to me after I had my surgery. Since I had done a lot of research prior to the event, the book was just a good read for me. However, I feel that Ms. Ali wrote a very informative book and managed to keep it entertaining. Had I the opportunity to have read it before my proceedure, I think that it would have eased some of my fears. I saw Ms. Ali on Dancing With The Stars, and after reading this book, I must admit that I would have never thought she had a problem at one time with weight. I have since passed the book on to another lapband candidate. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Love this book, 2008-02-22 I was consideration the Lap-band and had a lot of doubts. After reading this book not anymore. I almost cried when I read it. Never knew anyone felt like I do. The medical issues are written in a different font by two expert doctors in the field: Dr. Fielding and Dr. Ren. Highly recommended! 7 of 7 found this review helpful: Fighting Weight :^D, 2007-08-06 I originally bought this because it was one of the few books available about Lap band surgery. I'll admit I was prejudiced against it at the outset because the writer is a celebrity, so how much similiarity to my own experiences could she possibly have? Well, I was wrong in my preconceived notions. Khaliah's journey before the Lap Band is similiar to those of many overweight folks - though I am thankful that mine wasn't as prominently displayed in the limelight as hers. Her story is very personable and I found that learning about her failures and learning curve in obtaining and living with the band were the most informative sections of the book. Her doctors interject their chapters in between hers and are very informative as well. I found a goodly bit of information that's available in other books, but it was Khaliah's personal journey that I learned the most from. I hope that she comes out with a second book for living with a lap band - something with her average menus, receipes, workouts, eating out experiences, etc. Thank you for writing this book, it was a very pleasant read indeed! :^) 3 of 3 found this review helpful: Great Book!, 2007-06-27 I highly reccomend this book for anyone who is thinking about Lap-Band surgery.
