They are still the best two books I have read on weight loss surgery.  There is one other I recommend, The Emotional First + Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery, Second EditionJul 15, 2009 by Cynthia L. Alexander

I have read the surgery one so far. It has a lot of information and will be a great reference when going through the steps, I strongly recommend it.  I ordered online at chapters Indigo they are on 50% off and free delivery.

I will bring them Wednesday, you can flip through them to see if you are interested or not.

I thought the Weightloss Surgery for Dummies was to "Americanized".  Where do you live? You can have my copy.

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

I love them both and have numerous notes and posties on them. they look like little flags lol. 

I think you will find that you are able to come back to them again and again. 

i bought them months ago and this weekend am going over them again. i will probably do it again

just before my surgery 

 

Good luck

I just bought and read both books.  I bought them for the ereader on my ipad .. I wish I had the hard copies though - they are great reading but with the ebook version, I found myself writing notes with a pen and paper .... I really like the format of the books.
