5.0 out of 5 stars Check this book out first!, July 6, 2007

By	Rowde Rohde (Frozen Tundra, a.k.a. Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients (Paperback)

I had only planned on buying one WLS book because I only had a few questions left unanswered. Well, the first book told me everything I already knew and did not answer one of my questions. So one book became two and I ended up with 4 books when I finally decided to buy this book. Let me tell you, if you only want to buy one book then this is the book. You can find all the basic information about WLS on the internet and the surgeon will tell you all the basics too. But this book tells you things no other book talks in-depth about. This book is a must have for anyone who has had the surgery, is planning on having it, or is even considering it. You will read it again and again...I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients, April 2, 2005

By	Michaele P. Gatheridge "The New Me" (Peachtree City, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients (Paperback)

This book is a must for anyone having WLS. There are so many things that we seem to forget as we go through the process of "dieting". This is a life style change that effects everyone in the family. It is not a "diet" it is a new way a living. Where food is not the center but the fuel for the body. Colleen gives us great examples and goal setting techniques that I have never thought about. Great Book for anyone at any stage of the "new life".

This review is from: The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients (Paperback)

This book truly changed my life after surgery almost two years ago. It taught me how I needed to use this opportunity that was given me by having weight loss surgery. I now know what I need to do to make the most out of this procedure and be successful.

I am grateful for my surgeons skilled hands but will be forever indebted to the wonderful insight of Colleen and her book.
