Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band: Everything You Need to Know Before and After Surgery to Lose Weight Successfully by Robert W. Sewell, M.D. and Linda Rohrbough.
ISBN 978-1-60094-002-6, $16.95
Da Capo Lifelong Books  Co-authored by NC Writers League member Linda Rohrbough, this is “everything you need to know” guide to the adjustable gastric band (AGB or “the band”), a safe and effective weight loss surgery. The title is aimed at the more than nine million people in this country with severe weight problems, along with their family members and friends, and is also designed to serve as a credible source of information and support for those who already have the band. With a unique multi-disciplinary approach, it includes patient stories along with helpful information from other experts such as psychologists, dieticians, and exercise therapists who will illustrate the special challenges, the triumphs, the financial benefits, and the medical “miracles” (such as remission of diabetes) for band patients.
