What Others Say
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 Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies 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 Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies to any one.

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.
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 Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies in their library.
Surgery for you or not?
This is a book that gives both sides of bariatric surgery. It is a helpful tool and is highly recommended.
