Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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 this book in their library.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great reference book as you go through WLS!
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!!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies
Wow - this was one of the most comprehensive books I've found. Excellent resource that I still use often.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must read for those considering WLS
WLS is a big decision and you can't possibly get all the answers from your surgeon's office. There is just too much to know. Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies provided information on almost every topic pertaining to WLS. I felt as though my decision was ultimately a very informed decision. The testimonials from post-op patients were inspiring.
