Informative

This is one of the books I've read as I've considered and studied weight loss surgery. I found this book very informative and especially liked the discussions of the history of this surgery. The text is easy to read (i.e. you don't have to be a doctor to understand it).

An excellent source for researching the surgery option.

I read this book with the hope of answering numerous questions I have had about the various surgical procedures available for treating obesity. I found most of the answers I wanted. I also created a whole new list of questions because the author does a good job of discussing the topic. As he did this I found questions about things I hadn't even thought of. He left me wanting to know more. I am very glad I read the book and would recommend it highly to anyone who is seriously considering surgical options to treat obesity. I was glad to have this resource available with information coming directly from a practicing physician. I plan to, of course, look at the other side of things again too, so I can weigh the benefits and consequences. The book is also written fairly plainly so that everyone can understand. Some of the diagrams and things should have maybe been compared to "normal" people so we could differentiate what needed to change, etc. But, for the most part, the book was excellent!
