A really good "feel good " book, that tells it upfront about how you can make this surgery successful for anyone. If you follow the instructions and use their guidelines you will find you don't want to leave this book behind. Easy read, wonderful Advice!

The Emotional First Aid Kit / Bariatric Surgery
I am a Bariatric Coordinator at a medical center in Nebraska. I have many books on bariatric surgery related to care and experience of the patient through all phases of surgery and aftercare. This by far is the best book I have found. It is very forthright and practical! I have members of my support group reviewing several copies that I ordered. We are strongly considering using this book for discussion at some of our support group meetings in 2009. I would encourage you to get this book because it really gives you a common sense approach to bariatric surgery as a patient. Thanks.

Emotional First Aid Kit
The Emotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery
I am absolutely thrilled with this book. I had bariatric surgery nearly two years ago and recently found myself falling into some of my old habits. When I located this book, I thought it might not help, but couldn't hurt.
This book is jam-packed with relevant information for before and after surgery. Some chapter titles are: Stress Relief and Comfort Without Food; Beginning a Consistent Exercise Program; Behavior Modification; and Weight Maintenance. The chapters have lists of tips and some have an activity that helps to see where I am going wrong.
This is the best book regarding bariatric surgery that I have read, and I have bought and read many!

A MUST read for pre-bariatric patients!!!
I only wish I had this book prior to my surgery. It would have been a great help. That said, I do highly reccommend anyone considering WLS to pick this book up. Anyone in general wanting to turn over a new leaf and taking control of their weight should also read this book. It was great in helping me understand what trigged my eating and how to avoid making the same mistakes post-surgery that I had been making pre-surgery. The text is easy to follow, makes sense, and isn't sugar coated in that patronizing way someone who has never had a weight problem uses when tallking to the weight challenged. Definitely worth the price.
