5 out of 5 stars A must-read if you're considering Weight Loss Surgery   June 25, 2008
Laura in BC (Vancouver, BC)
This is a well-researched, quick and easy-to-read primer on weight loss surgery. It outlines the pros and cons of the various types of surgery, offers help in selecting a surgeon, tells you what to expect at each stage of your recovery, and even has some post-op recipes. There are sections on the emotional as well as physical changes you'll experience and suggests ways of handling non-supportive as well as supportive friends, relatives, and co-workers.

I only wish I had read this prior to my consultation with my surgeon. I would have had a lot more and different questions to ask him. If you are even just thinking about WLS, you should read this book.

Kerianne M. Roehl (Orlando, FL)
This book was amazingly helpful for information regarding weight loss surgery. It was practically my bible all the way through the surgery and right after. I listened to everything it had to say, plus my dietian, and i immediatly got apporived and moved right into surgery. A good buy if your serious about weight loss surgery.

It is very easy to understand and gives you keys for the different componets so that you know what you are reading information, statistics, tips, ect. This book contains charts of information and helps to interpret many issue that need to be understood prior to WLS. I will continue to keep this book at hand to reveiw many times over the course of my journey having WLS.

This book is a blessing! Recently had lap-band surgery and this book has helped me understand so many things I was confused about. It is very informative for someone even considering suregery and will help you from the very beginning and continue to help way after the surgery. I recommend it highly.

This a great book to help you decide if this is for you.
It is not a story about anyone's life it is just filled with great helpful information.
