Support is what helps us through the good, the bad and the weight loss.
My suggestion is to get "THE BIG BOOK ON THE GASTRIC SLEEVE" by Alex Brecher
It starts from the very beginning and goes through the first year. Excellent resource and very informative. I got it from Amazon and here is the link http://www.amazon.com/BIG-Book-Gastric-Sleeve-Gastrectomy/dp/0988388235/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390750957&sr=1-1&keywords=the+big+book+of+gastric+sleeve
There is also one on the gastric bypass.
Also another book I can recommend is ULTIMATE GASTRIC SLEEVE SUCCESS by Dr Duc C. Vuong
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Gastric-Sleeve-Success-Practical/dp/0615830447/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390751125&sr=1-1&keywords=ultimate+gastric+sleeve+success
Both are excellent and are also available on Kindle.
I think the more informed we are on any major event in our lives it takes the unknown out if it.
3 wks from tomorrow is my surgery. Time is flying.
Just think 1 yr from now we'll be (fill in the blank)................ pounds lighter.
