I don't have any books, but you might want to check on Amazon they sell used books...it's worth a shot.

Have you scheduled a surgery date? Or are you still deciding?

Let me know if the amazon thing works.

Take care,

Danyel

Please don't forget that wonderous source of FREE books - your local public library! If they don't have it in stock they may be able to "inter-library loan" it from another branch or even state.:(

Lol, my library in my tiny town is barely 1 room. It's not really even a library. They don't have them. :smile:

You can also check the prices and availability on half.com and Ebay. I second the recommendation of Jessie Ahroni's book. I am on an email list she supports and she's great. I've learned a lot from her.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
