I'm looking for a site that talks in detail about the lap band procedure, including anatomy to watch out for.

Thanks

Not sure how much detail you want, but this one is pretty good (albeit still written for the layperson): http://www.columbiasurgery.org/pat/obesity/lapband.html

as for anatomy, it doesn't change with regard to type of procedure, so any text which covers a gastric procedures or procedures for the morbidly obese should cover it.
