468 pages (according to Amazon)!! Amazing!! Can't wait for my copy to arrive!!

I will be ordering my copy too!

Ordered!!!

I'm about half way through the book and it is excellent. Highly recommended. Well written, well organized, easy to read and exhaustive citing of sources for information. There's information here for everyone whether you're considering RNY or two years out (like I am). Great book.

Downloaded it from ibooks. Thanks for letting us know about this. There's the same book for the Sleeve but had no idea there was one for RNY. I thought I knew of all the RNY books out there.

My 30 seconds of fame! The end of Chapter 16 'Christie from Arkansas' everything you ever wanted to know about my entire life story and then some....

Hi Lynda! There are an awful lot of amazing and very knowledgeable folks on this forum. The easiest way to get answers to your question is to just start typing. Folks post all of the time regarding the decision making process of trying to determine which surgery is best for them. There are General Forums and as you narrow things down, forums dedicated to specific types of surgery. You also can search the forum for key words and see previous posts on almost any subject you can think of including choosing the right surgery. For example if you did a search for "gastric bypass vs. gastric sleeve" you'll see lots of posts. Give it a try! You'll be a pro in no time!!

I just bought this book on amazon for my kindle so that I can read it no matter where I am at without people asking me too many questions.

I love, love, love this book. As a nurse I am used to researching everything I get involved in and this book has answered the majority of my questions and concerns. This website has also helped me a great deal preparing for my surgery. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in bariatric surgery read this book.

Sallyawbc hi I bought this book as well as I found weightloss for dummies very useful as well as The Success Habits of Weight Loss Surgery Patients helpful as well. Thanks for sharing.
