Just wondering if anyone had bought and read any of the books about life after gastric bypass. I'm just looking for some good reading material and want to keep upbeat about my surgery. Thanks, Wendy

Check out amazon.com. I know they have some books on WLS.

Hi Wendy, The nutritionist I saw pre-op has a book that several people have recommended to me as a good resource. It's "Life After Gastric Bypass" by Katrina Segrave. I have it, but I haven't read it yet, so I can't give you an opinion myself. Take care! Lisa

A friend recommended WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY - FINDING THE THIN PERSON HIDING INSIDE YOU! by Barbara Thompson, as a starting place for WLS. I found the book on Half.com, and it was wonderful. I think she also wrote WLS for Dummies, but have not read that one yet. I am still pre-surgery, so I don't know how much this will help you, but it is great reading and spans pre-surgery to post-surgery. Hoping to be a loser soon, Judie

Check your local library. I have viewed WLS for Dummies several times. I read something about before and after about wls. There are more books out now then there was a year ago. Good LUck on your journey. JEnnifer
