Helpful tips

Overall there were some good tips in this book. I wish there were more details in the personal stories so that I could better understand what the experience was like after surgery for each person based on the type of surgery that they had Out of that I think there are some good tips in the book.

The Success Habits of Weight loss surgery patients 3rd Edition

Es un libro escrito por una persona que se hizo una operación bariatrica y comparte lo que llaman los hábitos del éxito en el mantenimiento de la perdida de peso, muchos años después de la operación. Estos hábitos han sido extraídos de la experiencia de aquellos que no han vuelto a ganar el peso perdido. Hay muchos testimonios de otras personas que optaron por esta cirugía y que comparten con el lector. Existe toda una comunidad de ayuda y apoyo.

There was a lot that I skimmed, but the parts that were good were very good and very useful. I was mainly interested in the tips and habits, not so much all the personal accounts.
