Best books and videos?

Trying to read and see everything I can to help with decision making. There is a LOT out there! What are some of your "must-reads" and "must-sees?" What have been your favorite?

The BIG Book on Gastric Sleeve was a great book. Dr. Matthew Weiner's WLS vids on YouTube are also really informative. As far as fellow Sleevers: VSGHeartOnMySleeve, Clusie, and ... and ... oh gosh there were just so many great vids posted by others who went through this that I'm literally having a brain-fart, sorry. Hope what I noted so far helps some

In addition to the many WLS books available (like Alex's Big Book), there are some great food addiction, eating disorder books that are helpful. I would recommend anything by Geneen Roth and Overeater's Anonymous literature.

I concur with the poster above, who mentioned Dr. Matthew Weiner's WLS vids on YouTube. They are outstanding and anyone considering VSG surgery should watch them end to end.

​Be cautious when watching personal video blog diaries of sleeves on YouTube. May of them are using that for either therapy or their personal 15 mins of fame.

​By the way - and its not for the faint of heart - there are videos on YouTube that show the actual VSG procedure from camera inside the gut. Quite interesting to watch, if you can 'stomach' watching it (pardon the pun LOL!).
