I read this book when I was pre-op and found it to be a wonderful inspiration and source of information. It related to everything I was feeling and thinking, made me realise I was not the only one who felt like I did. Lee

Hi Lee~~ It great when you can relate, when your a pre-op and not feel like your the only one who has those feelings!! BTW--your doing a great job with your new tool!!

Alice I read this book and it was so wonderful she is so great on explaining everything and how everyone is different. There is so much information in this book. Her Husband also wrote in the back of the book. I would highly recommend this book! Have a great day Alice! Love ya, Evelyn {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} 247/153/147

Evelyn~~I have heard many people say that this is a wonderful book! Thanks for stopping by with your recommendation! Enjoy your day!!!

Any patient of Dr. Robert Cole out of Horsehead, NY office was told to buy the book and read it before they made the decision about having WLS and that was a good thing so you could really know if the surgery is what you want to do. I read the book enjoyed it and from time to time. I still go back and look at the book if. I need some questions answered its a book that any patient that has Gastric Bypass should have and. I do recommend it. I also receive email from Barbara Thompson that was another thing that was great about it if you bought the book she would also put you on her email list matter a fact. I just finish looking at the Web page that was sent in my email just a few day. So go and enjoy her seminar, I hope that 1 of these days are support group could bring her to are city. Angela Harris

Hi Angela~~So Nice to See You Good Idea, that your dr told you to read that book. It good that after WLS you can get those much needed questions answered. I have not read it, but am planning to attend the support group meeting. How nice of her to send you an e-mail and put you on her list. Thanks for the response and recommendation. I hope that your doing great--post an update when you get some time.

Hi Alice, I read the book as a post-op and still found it helpful and inspiring. I also had the opportunity to hear her speak in person in January of this year. I recommend to anyone, if they have the opportunity to do so, that it is worth the effort to meet her and hear her speak. She is a very dynamic lady. Patti

Hi Patti~~ Thanks~~I can't wait to hear her speak! Glad you found it helpful as a post op--I am 27 months out, I am thinking about getting her book. Hope your feeling great and living life to the fullest!!
