Wherever I go when I have this book it's title attracts attention! The book has everything from is this surgery right for you? To recipies and even has a excerpt frm Al Roker. If you are having surgery or even thinking about having it get this book!

It explains the surgery, what to expect, the day before surgery, what happens in the hospital etc....
I love this book and it will be with me untill I have my surgery,good luck to those who want to or are contiplating to have surgery.
Book Review: A must-read if you're considering Weight Loss Surgery
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well-researched, quick and easy-to-read primer on weight loss surgery. It outlines the pros and cons of the various types of surgery, offers help in selecting a surgeon, tells you what to expect at each stage of your recovery, and even has some post-op recipes. There are sections on the emotional as well as physical changes you'll experience and suggests ways of handling non-supportive as well as supportive friends, relatives, and co-workers.
I only wish I had read this prior to my consultation with my surgeon. I would have had a lot more and different questions to ask him. If you are even just thinking about WLS, you should read this book.
Book Review: great reference book as you go through WLS!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first of 2 books I read as I prepared for WLS. As my surgery date approaches (10 days) I feel confident about my outcome because I researced my doctors and made myself knowledgeable of what to expect. This book did the last part. It is easy to refer to and after finishing, I went back and high-lighted parts I felt I would need to refer to later. The part I liked best was the way the chapters were outlined at the beginning of each. If you needed information later and couldn't remember where you read it, you could look on the first page of the chapter and see what it contained. Written like a information book should!!!!Book Review: Great WLS Overview
Summary: 4 Stars
This book provides a great high level overview of the various WLS procedures available. The information is well organized and presented in such a way that is easy to read. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone considering WLS.
I'd recommend Lost and Found: A Guide To The LAP-BAND Journey for anyone specifically interested in the lap band as it provides real life stories and is co-written by a lap band patient who has been very successful and who works in the field.
Book Review: Excellent read for before or after surgery!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is such an easy read. If your anything like me, medical terminology can be confusing. This book is definitely not confusing! I like how this book takes you step by step through the surgery and after with many tips for long term success including recipes. I will definitely be using this book as a resource throughout my journey.
I also encourage anyone buying this book to buy a copy for your loved ones or friends who may not be aware of what is involved with wls. Not only will it help educate them, but it'll also help them help you along the way. Good luck!
