Bariatric Surgery: The Best and Worst Decision I Ever Made Kindle Edition

I am just beginning my bariatric surgery process. I was hoping that I could do it by diet alone and not need the surgery, but this book has convinced me to go ahead with surgery for long term success.The book was honest and amusing. It has also convinced me to follow the doctors orders exactly and not cheat at all. It’s not worth the chance of stewing things upI guess I already knew all of what he talked about but it was still very helpful to hear his personal experience to understand what to expectI am using the bariatric program at Ohio State University and they are VERY efficient, helpful and encouraging. I’m glad my center will help me avoid a lot of the frustrations the author experiencedI think this is a good read for anyone considering bariatric surgery

I'm contemplating surgery and this book was very informative funny and interesting.It helped me feel more positive about my decision to have surgery.

This book was really funny. Although the topic was a very serious one, the way he described what he and his wife went through made it hard to put my kindle down. I laughed and had to even read parts to my wife. I had a gastric sleeve 8 years ago, and like he mentioned all doctors are different, plus the requirements vary. Ed did though give good advice at the end, and like he states at the beginning, this was his journey, and he made it interesting and funny to read about.

Once I started reading, couldn't put book down. The author uses humor to describe a very serious medical decision. I actually feel slightly calmer about my decision and would recommend others read this book as well.

This was the 3rd book I’ve read that provided first hand information on what to expect with sleeve surgery that the medical experts books did not touch on. Thank you so much for sharing what you and your wife experienced as it helped me to decide to follow through with it. Debbie

I found this book very useful in understanding the process of getting through the Bariatric Surgery process. Very descriptive, no punches pulled!

Great book on what to expect before and after one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. Weight Loss surgery is no joke and it’s a life changer. Gives the reader an excellent take of what to expect before, during and after gastric sleeve surgery. The author shares he and his wife’s experience with wit and humor.

This book was what I thought it would be: a humorous, somewhat interesting read about a serious subject. I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know, but it was entertaining. I'd recommend it to someone who is in the beginning stages of qualifying for bariatric surgery.
