I have been wanting to listen to this book on Audible.. however, the narrators for the book are awful. It sounds like a robot (for both the female and male voice). It would be nice if the author himself would read the book so that it's more personal and less like we're listening to an automated system from T-Mobile for many hours in the car.

I listened to the sample and it's not too horrid. Plus, you can listen at 1.25x speed (or faster), which is what I usually do on books like this.

This is a great book for people who want to know everything about the sleeve. It takes you all the way through the process. It is a long book so allow yourself time to get through it, but it is well worth it.

I am so glad I am not the only person who felt that way. After listening to a sample, I decided not to make the purchase. I enjoy informative audiobooks for long walks, this definitely won't be one that I purchase from Audible.

Nope, sorry. Has there been an update to the Gastric Sleeve procedure I'm not aware of? ????

I'm on my second time through your book on Audible. PDF info is in a binder. I keep playing, listening, downloading the info to my brain. Listen and learn! Great tools! Thank you!

I found out about the book before the web site. It has been a big help for me in my research. The only complaint I have is typos in the book. I saw at least three before halfway though. I know that sounds lame, but I notice stuff like that.

They make me insane too! We really need to update it one of these days, thanks.

That drove me nuts too. And even a wrong image (RNY labeled as sleeve). For me the frequent typos/grammatical issues made it nearly unreadable because they bothered me so much (totally my issue, it's not actually unreadable). It's really too bad, because it's good information, but they sorely need a new editor.

        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!

      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
