Does anyone know of a good book on just the sleeve?

There is one that a patient wrote and published on Amazon as a Kindle book for $3.99 though you can get the paperback for more.

I read it and it is basically a general summary. The title is:

The Sleeved Life: A Patient-to-Patient Guide on Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Weight Loss Surgery.

I was really hoping for something more from the book. Everything you can read here is the same types of thing you get from your surgeon and nut and can read on these boards, but you may find it informational.

There is another book which I have not read available from Amazon by Dr. Alvarez.

Successful Weight Loss with the Gastric Sleeve

There is one called return to slender, its written by a nutritionalist that has actually had the gastric sleeve. She has also just brought out a second book Return to slender second helpings. It gives you fab recipes and explains the food stages. It tells you food and drinks to avoid and the reasons why and also gives tips for equipment etc post surgery.

These books are out of print and

funny thing, this book must be a collector item; look at cost: http://www.amazon.co...turn to slender

Second edition is OK though: http://www.amazon.co...54470158&sr=1-2

Lorraine if you have a copy and this is true, it may be worth allot.

Hi there, i am from Scotland and these books are still readily available here. If you go to bariatriccookery.com they sell them for less than £20 for the 2 books. It asks what currency you would like to pay in so might accept US Dollars.

Just checked and you can buy them and pay For them through a PayPal account, its £16.45 shipping to America though. Still a lot cheaper than the €300 it was asking for on Amazon though. Hope this helps. Xxx

I've got Dr. Alvarez's book...it's pretty good, lots of general information, some "troubleshooting" tips...you can order it off his website endobariatric.com or I think there is even a link on here somewhere I've seen.

Sorry every body for going off the subject,

I wonder why this is as it is on Amazon.com.us, something is wrong with that.

I've watched his youtube videos too and really like them. He was my first choice in surgeon but I'm not patient enough to wait to save up his surgery fee :/

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
