Real, revealing and entertaining
These ladies bring the real skinny to those of us interested in bariatric surgery, or those of us who are recovering. I feel like I know them and that the information they are relating is true experience, pro and con. Thank you for an interesting, informative read.

Must Have PRIOR to Surgery!
This book although in greater detail than needed should be a must read for all people considering weight loss bariatric surgery!

The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery
If you are considering bariatric surgery, this book is a must. It is a no-nonsense, plain-speaking book about why you might need this surgery and what you can really expect. Also, if you are going to have the surgery, it is an important read for your friends and family members so they will understand why you are having the surgery and what to expect afterward. I highly recommend this book.

Informative
I ordered several books to read - even though I had a mandatory 6 month class about the entire process, emotional, physical, food requirements and many other aspects. I wanted to read and get an in depth view of WLS and especially RNY. I am making a life choice and therefore want to be very informed. Good luck on your decision and journey! I really enjoyed this book!

Great Buy!
This book is very informative and insightful. I recommend it to anyone contemplating weight loss surgery.
