"This book although in greater detail than needed should be a must read for all people considering weight loss bariatric surgery!"

"If you are considering bariatric surgery, this book is a must. It is a no-nonsense, plain-speaking book about why you might need this surgery and what you can really expect. Also, if you are going to have the surgery, it is an important read for your friends and family members so they will understand why you are having the surgery and what to expect afterward. I highly recommend this book."

"I ordered several books to read - even though I had a mandatory 6 month class about the entire process, emotional, physical, food requirements and many other aspects. I wanted to read and get an in depth view of WLS and especially RNY. I am making a life choice and therefore want to be very informed. Good luck on your decision and journey! I really enjoyed this book!"
