Great Book October 14, 2008
I bought this book to read before surgery. The book was very informative and has some good recipes in it too. The recipes can be made with stuff you already have in your kitchen and they taste great.
I'd recommend this book to any one.

Excellent Resource September 8, 2008
The book is an easy to read comprehensive review of everything a person needs to know if they are looking into having the surgery, preparing for surgery, going through the after effects of the surgery, or having a loved one go through the surgery. Points are presented in a simple format with lists, recipies and other resources to refer back to even after you read the book.
What a BOOK!! August 16, 2008
This is by far the best book I have ever read that describes the different types of Weight loss surgery and what one can expect. It details clearly from the preparation to the post- op process all that you will ever want to to know. Anyone who is considering weight loss surgery cannot afford to not have this book in their library.
Surgery for you or not? July 27, 2008
This is a book that gives both sides of bariatric surgery. It is a helpful tool and is highly recommended.
great reference book as you go through WLS! July 8, 2008
This was the first of 2 books I read as I prepared for WLS. As my surgery date approaches (10 days) I feel confident about my outcome because I researced my doctors and made myself knowledgeable of what to expect. This book did the last part. It is easy to refer to and after finishing, I went back and high-lighted parts I felt I would need to refer to later. The part I liked best was the way the chapters were outlined at the beginning of each. If you needed information later and couldn't remember where you read it, you could look on the first page of the chapter and see what it contained. Written like a information book should!!!!
