Good info!

Cleared up many gray areas for me and provided practical, useful info to help me understand exactly what I’d be getting into with weight loss surgery.

A brilliant compact book looking at quantitative and qualitative data around everything related to bariatric surgeries. She has organised the book in a logical manner from pre-surgery points to bear in mind, including liver-shrinking diet, preparing for the surgery and how to cope afterwards, to the long-term possible effects or complications, meaning more about how to maximise the chances of keeping the weight off long term. She has incorporated a lot of direct quotes from the participants to support what the evidence shows. I did find it at times very repetitive though. However, absolutely would say this is quite a must-read for anyone who is considering surgery.

A great all-rounder with support for the key stages of bariatric surgery. Some of the advice was obvious but that won’t be the case for everyone, and I really appreciated how much of it was backed up with studies! I can see myself returning to this book in future

Excellent book

Recommended to me by the bariatric dietician. It's a plain spoken informative read which I will no doubt read several times prior to,during and post surgery.
