Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Resource
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a BOOK!!
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.

This is a book that gives both sides of bariatric surgery. It is a helpful tool and is highly recommended.
