Over the last year I've purchased many of the more popular books on weight loss surgery. Many are quite good. This book in particular is superb and I would argue the most important of all for long term success. It gives a non-sugar-coated view of the challenges that lie not just beyond the surgery, but where the rubber really meets the road: a year or two or after the surgery. That is when the real work seems to start, and ultimate success or failure is decided. Those that think that gastric bypass is an easy-out or 100% reliable solution will find this information illuminating.
The book presents a consistent and realistic portrayal of where the secrets to long-term success lies. There is no magic bullet. This is a lot of work, and it requires one to be on guard for those nasty food habits we've learned. Emotional eating, food-centric social situations, loss of motivation (especially with exercise) and a host of other challenges will always be lurking in the chronically obese person's life. This book offers some simple guidelines for managing those challenges, and advice on when to look for help from others. I recommend that every person either contemplating this surgery or anyone who has already had the surgery consider this book.

this book is an invaluable reference to me. i had rny just under two years ago and this is the first book that put everything into perspective in an intelligent, thought provoking soundbyte format. i can pick up this book and easily read just a page/point easily. also, many of the tips and mind negotiating tactics/realities could work with others not related to weight loss surgeries.
some of the other bariatric books are merely personal accounts or glossed over tidbits, but this helps you deal with the actual mental battles you have to struggle with on a day to day basis as an obese person considering surgeryor formerly obese individual. the surgery is a tool, all the mental deamons are the same, and this books helps acknowledge them and teach you how to put them into place.
