"Why do I feel hungry one day, and am completely full the next?"
"Why does my weight stall and should I do something about it?"
"What can I do about hair loss, dumping syndrome and “the foamies?”
"What are the facts about oral health and tailbone pain?"
"And, should I really be THAT afraid of stretching my stomach?"

Great Resource

This was my first bariatriv book, and it had amazing resources. It does a great job of providing a step by step guide of what to expect and how to get the most out of surgery.

The team at Your Onederland is amazing with their motivation & with information for bariatric patients. I follow them on all of their social media & they always post things that I need to hear when I need to hear it. This book is no different. Being several years out from my surgery, I’ve lost focus. This book, with all of its information, helped me regain my focus & motivation. This is a book I will keep for when I am struggling with focus & motivation. All bariatric patients should have this on their bookshelves!

I loved this book. It was super helpful to honestly just help me feel normal! It was also super helpful to have some insight into what was to come! Recommend to anyone who has a loved one going through surgery or going through surgery themselves!

Only contains very narrow, generic advice. Nothing you couldn’t get from an online support group or a quick google.

a bible for those considering / having / had WLS

This book has been invaluable in preparing me for my upcoming WLS. It covers everything you could possibly need and doesn’t shy away from the tricky topics either. Can’t recommend it enough!

This was an okay read - it was a review of everything my clinic went through. It missed any content about coming into surgery with good habits already and assumes you have a ton to fix.

This is a great read for anyone thinking of, or having gone through bariatric surgery.

The book is laid out very well, but is a little repetitive.

Lots of helpful information for making the reader truly understand life after the surgery.
