5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone considering weight loss surgery Jun 1 2011
By Lu
This book is NOT boring or hard to read. The authors bring a lot of useful information with humor and personal insights. I had a hard time putting the book down. This is definately a book to read if you are considering weight loss surgery. Two of the authors went through the surgery themselves and their surgeon also had a hand in writing the book.

I would recommend this book for anyone considering weight loss surgery. It is very well written and offers advice and gives you an idea of what you will be facing post surgery.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Resource!! May 13 2011
By T. Maurice
As someone who is currently going through the pre-op procedures for gastric bypass, this book has proven to be indespensible. I read it cover to cover in just a few days and plan on reading through it again closer to my surgery date.The authors have both been through gastric bypass and give a realistic view of what to expect through each step of the process. I especially liked the chapter on potential complications. I recommend it to anyone who is considering if WLS is for them.
