Great question! I have been thinking of reading it too,Debly also read it and she loved it. I will probably get it in the next week or so, I am just so busy with school that I am afraid I will get it and not read it or spend too much time reading it!

I ordered it from his website. It was 11.95 plus shipping I think .

Lots of good info. I took the book with me to my PCP as I had my surgery in Mexico. It was nice to show her what Vitamins I should be taking and what labs for her to run..

It was just nice to have something to read that walks you through it from Pre-op to post -op.

I read a LOT of it last night after I ordered it (iPad). VERY informative, he spells out exactly what to DO and what NOT to do. I recommend it. :P

You have to order from his website - $9.99. Then you will download the book - THEN you need to drop the book into your iTunes account and THEN you can sync with you iPad or iPhone.

It was really easier than I thought when I read the directions.

They also have a Nook and Kindle version. You can also buy the regular paper book and have it shipped to you.

Let me know if you have any trouble ordering it and I can help !

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
