Andrea K 33 Posted February 25, 2014 I ordered this on my kindle. Awesome book, easy to read and very informative. I have a list of things to ask my surgeon. This took some of the anxiety out of getting prepared for this surgery. 2 Alex Brecher and m_rose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cookiesgotthis 50 Posted March 12, 2014 There are a few things in the post-op (as far as eating) that my RD suggest we not have...beans, potatoes, cream of wheat. I just double check with my health center to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nellarifixmom 5 Posted March 25, 2014 I bought this book during a random search on Amazon, having no idea that its author, Alex, was connected to this site! Anyway, I love how easy it is to read, and it really is chock full of information. However, Alex, I am getting really freaked out about the several mentions of the gas used to puff up the abdominal area during laparoscopic bypass sugery and its connection to embolism. I'm scared!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mommabird 367 Posted May 8, 2014 I'm just begining my WLS journey and started by ordering this book yesterday. I also bought the kindle version which I've been reading since last night. I'm going to my first seminar this coming Wednesday and I know I'll come away better informed as now I'll know what questions I need to ask! 1 Trudycarle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loveskinnyme 41 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I have already read the book from cover to cover, but I finally got my RNY surgery date booked. I'm going in on June 19th. So I guess I'm going to read it again, just to make sure I'm really prepared for this journey. I told my kids and husband that going forward, my new birthday will be June 19th, because that's the day my new life begins.

DR1220 3 Posted March 3, 2015 Just bought the book on Monday and finished it all in one day! Seems very thorough and very clear, no misconceptions of things that could, should or will happen. Of course we are all different but the book really gave you an idea of what you are actually going to be doing. I at first got the "no way, I can't do it" attitude and had to calm myself and say "one day at a time". Thank you for the great read! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
