Awesome, 2008-06-13
I would reccommend this book to anyone thinking about Gastric Bypass surgery. I had it 3 years ago and have lost 303 pounds. I would do it again in a heartbeat. This book is very informative about all the questions that you will have and ways to use them through out the rest of your journey.

Everything your surgeon should have told you, 2008-03-10
First, the title is misleading because the book deals with pre-surgery nearly as much as post-surgery issues. If you had surgery through a decent program, your surgeon or program staff should have already told you most of what Peck covers. If you are looking for that information in book form, this is for you. If you are looking for additional information, there are other, more relevant books out there.

A Must for anyone considering/planning to have a Roux en Y bypass, 2008-02-08
This book is very thorough. Everything I read reinforced what I been told by my surgeon, other patients, the nutritionist and social worker. I recommend it for anyone who is considering or planning a Roux en Y gastric bypass. Note: this book does not discuss any other procedures, so you wouldn't benefit as much from it if you're planning on a different procedure, however, she does talk about much more than the surgery itself.

Not what I thought, 2008-01-01
This book is ok if you have very little knowledge about Gastric Bypass. It also has a lot on before the fact. I was looking for something with more on after the surgery and keeping the weight off and dealing with emotional eating.
The book info made it sound like it covered more on this. I would not buy again.
In fact, will probably put up for sale here!
