Book Suggestions

I am interested in reading the narrative of people whom have had VSG. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am not looking for advice or guide books, just books about various people's journey. If you have a suggestion please let me know. Thanks!

This is one recommended by the person who did my psych clearance. I read it before surgery and includes stories of different people's experiences.

The Success Habits of Weight Loss Surgery Patients 3rd Edition by Colleen Cook http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MOKSOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_awd_rwL1wbZDJHDEJ

I don't know why I didn't think of it yesterday, but you will want to read our very own Queen of Crop's book:

"Stranger Here" was extremely helpful to me. She had a duodenal switch surgery but same idea.

Yup I actually have read that one. But I agree it is a good one.
