Book Reviews of Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies
Book Review: Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies is a MUST-HAVE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read it cover to cover. I've re-read it cover to cover. It will
be the very first item put in my suitcase for use during my hospital
stay. Roux-en-Y WLS is a few short weeks away and I truly can't wait!
As a supplement to the information provided by my surgeon and his
team, this book addresses all the procedures, questions, and concerns
from pre-op, to post-op, and for the rest of our life long journey.
Book Review: Great Reference Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book prior to my July 2009 GBS surgery. It is the best book on the subject, by far. The sections are broken down in order with a lot of information on every aspect of GBS/Lap Band you would need to know prior to and post surgery. I loaned it to a friend of mine and wish I had kept it as it is a very useful guide to everything from food, water, protein, post surgery emotions, exercise etc. It is a great reference book!Book Review: Simplicity is a good thing
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of the "Dummies" books include the essential facts presented in a way that is useful and painless. This book is no exception. It takes a difficult subject and provides a great reference work to understand the subject.
This book is especially useful to help family members and friends of those considering bariatric surgery to understand the procedures, choices, and post-surgery lifestyle of the patient.
Book Review: Owner's Manual For Bariatric Surgery
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book before my scheduled surgery, read it cover to cover, reread it highlighting important passages and have reread it to reaffirm my choices and checklist the passages since my surgery. Would not go through all of this (six months of prep) without this marvelous book. I think it covers it all or leads you where to investigate reference this life-changing procedure. One former-fat guy recommends it.Book Review: Bariatric Surgery Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covers everything anyone contemplating bariatric surgery needs to be aware of. The advice for deciding if you are a good candidate for surgery and for what type covers almost every question you might raise. The realistic discussion in the sections of what happens after the surgery make for realistic expectations. Anyone contemplating weight loss surgery should read this book first.
