Good For Life

I wish I had gotten this book before I had surgery But I got it right after It gave me so much great Info!!! I am always looking back in the book it is my little gastric bypass bible and it has more information about other weight loss things as well so It Great if you are thinking of having the surgery Wonderful if you are New to post op and Great if you are several months post op as a look back and referance helper. I tell every one this is the One Must Own Book to have for WLS pre op and post op.

Great Information

I had my surgery in April 2003. This book was a great asset in that it let you know what to expect from beginning to end, even the hospital stay...I took it to the hospital with me and used it as reference there as well. I would highly reccomend this book.

Finding the Thin Person Hiding Inside YOu

This book is far the best information I have read on the subject of Gastric Bypass Surgery. It helped me in my final decision to have the surgery. It is not only a GREAT encouragement but is VERY factual in the events that happen with you emotionally and physically. I had my surgery 10/17/02 and have referred back to the book several times since my surgery. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is considering this surgery. Although this is great information on the the various aspects relating to this surgery and could be read at anytime, I would HIGHLY recommend this book be read before sugery! IT IS A MUST HAVE!!!

THE Best Book on Weight Loss Surgery

I have read both this book and the Michelle Boasten book and find this one MUCH better. I didn't realize until after I read Michelle's book that Michelle had the mini gastric bypass surgery, which is an old surgery that has been abandoned as being dangerous. Barbara Thompson's book covers everything about the RNY weight loss surgery and what you have to do after the surgery to be successful. It has become my bible. My surgeon recommended this book to me after he had read it. Barbara Thompson brings up important information that I hadn't even thought about. It is very well researched and very personally written. If you get only one book on weight loss surgery, make sure it is this one.

Wonderful

Whether you're considering this surgery, waiting for insurance approval, already have a surgery date or are post-op, this book is for you. It has so much to offer, I keep it in my backpack to reference almost everyday. This surgery is only half the deal, it takes a whole-hearted committemnt to know thas this drastic move is for you. Ms. Thompson does a very good job of relating this to the readers...she explains that this surgery is only a tool, that it's not the fix-all. Being a new post-op myself, any knowledge I can gain relating to my new lifestyle and new "inner" workings is nothing but beneficial. This book is well organized and full of tips and suggestions that are meant to help no matter which road you're on. I'm very glad I purchased this book and recommend it to all my friends who are searching for help or who have already "crossed-over". Thank you Barbara Thompson
