I am a Weight Loss Surgury Patient and this author has nailed the experience right on the head. It's a great reference book for anyone who is considering this life-saving procedure and wants to know how to deal with it. It also shows how to deal with society's view on the subject. Too many people think we took the "easy way out" without knowing the true facts behind our struggle with our obesity.

I commend the author for sharing her personal journey with us but I must say that you don't need to buy this book in order to experience how gastric bypass affects a patient. Just attend a FREE support group in your area or log on to one of the many FREE websites for obesity, such as obesityhelp.com. I want to make it clear that I support the author in her decision to write down her personal experiences but the support groups are much better!!!

This lady does tell it like it is in her case..I really didn't learn anything new or find it too interesting. I would pick it up at a doctors office but honestly I wouldn't buy it to help or sway my decision about weight loss surgery.

This book was a very personal book and easy to read with a lot of information. The surgeon who performed the surgery also put his input in this. Great Book!

In days where gastric bypass is the new "thing to do" Melissa does an amazing job of explaining the struggle, complications, and ultimate success that the surgery brought to her life.

This book is not only an easy read (i did it in one sitting!) but is also one of the only books I've read that tells it like it is. Melissa is obviously a very brave individual; her amazing story is a must read for anyone who is considering the surgery. Phat Finish is a true account of triumph.

I read Phat Finish and found it to be one of the most compelling books I have read in a long time. As a RNY Gastric Bypass patient I found the information accurate and the resources very helpfull. Melissa's story is uplifting and a great read even for people not considering weigth loss surgery. Her courage and faith are a shining example for us all.

A must read in my opinion.

I have just finished reading Phat Finish by Melissa Anne Hathaway. This is a Must Read book for anyone who is considering
weight loss surgery. A very informative and enlightning book.

This book is awesome and easy to read. Great information for anyone considering Weight Loss Surgery.

I have heard of this procedure, but it wasn't until I happened to pick up the book at a friends house, he said it just came out. From what I have read and seen in this book, I have become extremely interested in this procedure.

This book is great, very informative. Great advice inside.
