Book Reviews of The REAL Skinny On Weight Loss Surgery: An Indispensable Guide to What You Can REALLY Expect!!

Book Review: Great Book if you read through the typos
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not a be-all end-all book about weight loss surgery. It does; however, give information about surgeries and the possible after effects (not that they had ALL possible effects, but they certainly had several), in a witty, informative way.

I found "The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery - Second Edition" to be useful and informative.

Overall, it's a great book. But, it was highly disappointing to find so many typographical errors, which lead to questioning the professionalism and accuracy of the medical personnel who have loaned their names to this publication.

The good thing is that none of the errors change the meaning of the sentences where they are present. Sadly, the majority of the typos appear in Chapter Three - Dr. Baker's first chapter, leaving the educated doctor look like a buffoon.

There are other errors throughout the remainder of the book that appear to have been 'catchable' by a spell check (i.e. Page 237 Chapter 17 protein is spelled prtoein [sic].
