User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Real Skinny ion Weight Loss Surgery
This was a great down to earth book about what really happens during and after WLS. I highly recommend it for it’s directness and humor!

5 Stars Great Book if you read through the typos
This is not a be-all end-all book about weight loss surgery. It does; however, give information about surgeries and the possible after effects (not that they had ALL possible effects, but they certainly had several), in a witty, informative way.

I found “The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery - Second Edition” to be useful and informative.

Overall, it’s a great book. But, it was highly disappointing to find so many typographical errors, which lead to questioning the professionalism and accuracy of the medical personnel who have loaned their names to this publication.

The good thing is that none of the errors change the meaning of the sentences where they are present. Sadly, the majority of the typos appear in Chapter Three - Dr. Baker’s first chapter, leaving the educated doctor look like a buffoon.

There are other errors throughout the remainder of the book that appear to have been ‘catchable’ by a spell check (i.e. Page 237 Chapter 17 protein is spelled prtoein [sic].

5 Stars A Book that does tell it like it is!
I highly recommend this book to anyone considering weight loss surgery. The authors are real patients who tell of their personal experience after weight loss surgery. They aren’t afraid to admit that they didn’t ALWAYS follow the rules. Being a weight loss surgery patient myself, a bariatric RN and a bariatric support group leader, I know from personal experience there are very few people who never test the limits of the rules they are given. They just aren’t all willing to put their mistakes in print. I appreciated that they were open and honest about what they did wrong because it certainly helped me to learn from their mistakes.

In regards to the complications the authors experienced after surgery, I can tell you that they do happen. Yes, the authors made up their own “names” for what they experienced but that didn’t make their experience any less real. When I experienced “scramps” after my surgery I knew what was happening because I had read the book before surgery.

My advice to anyone looking at weight loss surgery is to get as much knowledge about it ahead of time. Know what can or might happen. Knowledge is VERY powerful and is one of the greatest tools you can give yourself on the difficult journey of weight loss surgery. I don’t care if not everyone experiences the complications decribed in this book, the fact of the matter is that they might happen. The authors believe in letting people know everything that COULD happen and as a patient, nurse and support group leader I appreciate that viewpoint.

I firmly believe that the more knowledge you have before surgery the easier it will be to travel this journey of weight loss surgery. And this book gave me knowledge.

5 Stars 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.

4 Stars 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!
