Owner's Manual For Bariatric Surgery:
I purchased this book before my scheduled surgery, read it cover to cover, reread it highlighting important passages and have reread it to reaffirm my choices and checklist the passages since my surgery. Would not go through all of this (six months of prep) without this marvelous book. I think it covers it all or leads you where to investigate reference this life-changing procedure. One former-fat guy recommends it.
Good for beginning the journey but no carry thru for long-termers:
This is a thorough book covering much of the technical information you need going into the surgery and the immediate aftermath. But I'm going on 5 years out of the surgery and looking for information that will help me with the ups and downs of maintaining my weight loss. Fat No More - Long Term Success Following Weight Loss Surgery covers more of those issues - plus it's helpful for those starting out to know what's ahead.
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. Alicia
