The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve! vs other books

Money is tight right now, as I'm sure you can all imagine...

Is this book going to give me more information than my nut/surgeon, and other books I've read? I know it is just 10 bucks for a digital copy, but I've bought a few other books, and so far they're just rehashing what I've learned at my surgery consult, nut consult, and psych consult.

What makes this book stand out (besides the fact that it probably supports this community and I shouldn't be such a cheapskate).

Not sure what the book can really tell ya, but I will tell you this much...everything you are gonna need to know you will find out from your surgeon, nut, and support groups if you have one in your area, and this forum...dont waste your money

I do have a support group in my area, hosted by my surgeon's team in fact... I mean, my nutritionist provided a ton of useful information http://www.wheatoniowa.org/programs-services/weight-loss-surgery/patient-education/diet-and-nutrition.aspx , and I like books because they answer questions sometimes I didn't know I had. These forums are ok for that, but I'm wondering what other people have done.

I got some of my materials from the nut and surgeon. The rest I found online including watching videos of the actual surgeon being performed. I didn't see the need to buy a book when so much info is available online for free.
