Book review: The Experts Guide to Weightloss Surgery by Dr. Garth Davis
You may already be familiar with Dr. Garth Davis from the reality show Big Medicine. He will be one of the featured speakers at the Atlanta OH event in November.
I recently read his new book The Expert's Guide to Weight Loss Surgery.
I found the book to be a useful resource for both pre- and post op patients. Dr. Garth provides information on all the major surgery types, but focuses mostly on RNY, lap band, and DS procedures. I was impressed at his references to the DS procedure throughout the book, since authors tend to omit information on DS.
I found the chapters on After care, exercise, post op diet, and post op emotions very useful. Even though I am post op, I appreciated the descriptive content of each surgery type, and found benefit from a refresher course.
I would have liked to have seen more post op testimonials and some pictures, but the lack of them did not diminish the value of the book.
The book is broken down into several chapters, which were convenient to read in short spurts.
I found this book at my local library. If you have a GA Pines library card, your local branch can ship it to you for free. Go on-line to www.gapines.org to reserve the book. The book would also serve as a valuable tool or your private library. Try eBay or amazon.com for discounted copies.
I give the book 4 thumbs up for content, accuracy of information, and ease of reading.
I highly recommend it.
