 love it September 3, 2010

 Glorified Pamphlet September 3, 2010
PDX Reader (Portland, OR USA)
As a Registered Nurse and candidate for bariatric surgery, I have begun reading books and searching websites in search of information and encouragement.
There's really nothing wrong with the information in this book.
It's just that there's so little of it.
There are about 12 pages of genuinely useful information and about 20 pages of interesting patient-experience descriptions.
Colleen Cook compiled those 20 or so pages, she didn't write them
She has written a list of 6 habits that she sets out well on 12 pages.
That's a pamphlet, not a book.
In addition, there's no real medical evidence cited in any of her recommendations.
They are taken from her and other's real life experience and although that is useful, I think some real data would have been more helpful.
Must have for all weight loss surgery patients. February 15, 2010
R. Heintzelman (ovid, NY, US)
This is loaded with tried and true methods of success. I am 4 months post op and have already learned more from this must have resource then I did in the 16 months of nutrition counseling prior to surgery. I have already made changes to my lifestyle to ensure my success. I highly recommend this book to all WLS patients.

1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Of all the weight loss surgery books I've read, and there have been a few, *The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients* was barely memorable. In my opinion if you're truly serious about having weight loss, the best book you can get is "The REAL Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery". Having contemplated the surgery for well over 2 years, it is time to take the step to improving and hopefully prolonging my life. "The REAL Skinny..." will be the book I turn to again and again and one I will recommend to patients.
Good but obvious August 20, 2009
T. Campbell (Houston, Texas United States)
This book is very valuable if you are completely clueless about what you should do after weight loss surgery.
