When I first began researching weight loss surgery, this was the first book I bought on the subject. Really, it was the only book in the entire store that was specifically about weight loss surgery! So my options were limited. But, I bought this book and read it in a couple of days. And? I loved it.
This book has information about ALL types of weight loss surgeries, not just RNY. It's very educational and tells you what to expect before, during, and after surgery. I ended up having a RNY and I seriously read this book like it was my Bible. There's just so many great tips in it that even now, over 1 year out, I still pick it up every now and then for a recipe or a tip (there is a whole chapter on dealing with life after WLS that I've found very helpful).
I recommend this book to anyone considering weight loss surgery; or even to people simply wanting to learn about the subject. It's been a wonderful companion to me along my journey.
