A Book Recommendation

Dr. Garth has a book that came out around the first of this year.  It has become my WLS bible.  I recommend it for all of you.  It is very easy reading.  I have it on an end table in the living room and every time I sit down to watch TV I inevitably pick up this book and forget about TV.

I was going through the book today and kept finding stuff that I wanted to bring back here and discuss with you.   You might want to pick it up.  I'm not sure if your libraries have it, but maybe you could request it and they would buy it. 

The Expert's Guide to Weight-Loss Surgery by Dr. Garth Davis.

What kinds of things are in it?

Chapters 1-8 talk about things before the surgery...deciding to have surgery, deciding which one is best for you, finding a doctor, etc.

Chapter 9 is about Surgery Day.

Chapters 10 - 17 is life after surgery.  He talks about the Honeymoon Period, exercise, and the emotional part of all this.  Even talks about excess skin.  There are also shopping lists.

Just a very useful resource.

Thanks Dahuggs.  I probably wouldn't buy it because so much is devoted to before surgery, but I may look for it in the library or used book store.

YIKES, I supposed have gotten this and be done reading before my next trip to Texas. I forgot the name of the book. Thanks for posting it and I will pick it up by this weekend!!!

When is your next trip in?

I found this book at my library.  I read it, returned it and then bought my own copy and read it again!  It's a GREAT book...I'll soon have it memorized.  : )

I'm so glad you liked it!  I love it too!  So much useful information in it.

I ordered it anyway!  I am an info junkie!  I have enjoyed the few episodes of Big Med I've seen and they appear to be really good guys!

Info junkie, lol.  You are going to love this book!
