Best WLS book around.

Created: 08/01/06
This book answers every question you need to know about weight loss surgery. It is fair to all the surgeries, even talking about the ones that aren't as popular or well known, such as the VBG and DS. It has great recipes that I can't wait to try after my surgery. There are chapters about how to use your tool correctly for the rest of your life... this book is a MUST HAVE for anyone considering any type of weight loss surgery. You will not be sorry by buying this book. Even if you have done years of research and made up your mind as to which surgery to get, you will still have use for this book. If you are a newbie, and just learning, this is an AWESOME tool that will lead you in the right direction.

A dummy who needed weight loss surgery information.

Created: 12/02/06
I am currently going through the process of having weight loss surgery. The coordinator of my weight loss program suggested I purchase "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies". I am a registered nurse and truly felt as though this would be a waste of my time and money. However, I was wrong. This book is written in clear, precise language anyone can understand. It answered all my questions and brought my attention to information I had not even thought of at the time. This is a great book and I highly recommend it to all persons who are going to have or consider they may have weight loss surgery. I know I will use this book as reference tool for years to come.
