Best books and videos?

Trying to read and see everything I can to help with decision making. There is a LOT out there! What are some of your "must-reads" and "must-sees?" What have been your favorite?

The BIG Book on Gastric Sleeve was a great book. Dr. Matthew Weiner's WLS vids on YouTube are also really informative. As far as fellow Sleevers: VSGHeartOnMySleeve, Clusie, and ... and ... oh gosh there were just so many great vids posted by others who went through this that I'm literally having a brain-fart, sorry. Hope what I noted so far helps some :)

Whoops. Meant to say thanks for the info!!

In addition to the many WLS books available (like Alex's Big Book), there are some great food addiction, eating disorder books that are helpful. I would recommend anything by Geneen Roth and Overeater's Anonymous literature.

I concur with the poster above, who mentioned Dr. Matthew Weiner's WLS vids on YouTube. They are outstanding and anyone considering VSG surgery should watch them end to end.

​Be cautious when watching personal video blog diaries of sleeves on YouTube. May of them are using that for either therapy or their personal 15 mins of fame.

​By the way - and its not for the faint of heart - there are videos on YouTube that show the actual VSG procedure from camera inside the gut. Quite interesting to watch, if you can 'stomach' watching it (pardon the pun LOL!).
