one woman's story by M. Hill (TN)  1 Stars
September 12, 2009
This is one woman's story about her reaction to Gastric bypass. It is written in an extemely judgemental and negative approach and I did not enjoy reading it. Yes, we do need to consider the possibilities of what can go wrong, but this book just wasn't in my opinion, the way to go about it.

Gastric Bypass not the problem... by R. D. Strickland (Redding, CA USA) 1 Stars
February 14, 2009
This didn't steer me away from gastric bypass surgery so much as make me glad I had researched my surgeon, surgical team, and hospital so thoroughly. I had gastric bypass surgery in January 2009, and I didn't have the same problems as the ones described here. I'm sorry that her experience was so bad, and certainly there are many people who have had terrible experiences, but like the other reviewer, there seemed to be a lack of research on the part of the author. If nothing else, this should be proof of how important it is for the individual to be absolutely committed to the surgery, having researched it thoroughly, and have a great healthcare team.

Not what I expected by Ginger in Los Angeles (Southern California) 1 Stars
February 12, 2009
This book recounts issue after issue of the bad medical care that the author was given. My question would be 'why did'nt you research your doctor and hospital before you had your surgery? Why did you proceed when you had NEVER met your doctor prior to surgery'? That should have been a giant red flag! If your Psychiatrist wasn't helping you, and you couldn't deal with the weight loss, why didn't you seek out a new one? And no call light to reach your nurse in the ICU? Come on...
