Just another book you may want to recommend to your friend. It is an easy read that really tells it like it is. I read it before surgery and it helped me so much! It really helped me understand what to expect after my surgery.
It is "The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery" by Julie Janeway and Karen Sparks. You can find it on Amazon.

breathe, feel, laugh, cry and notice sunsets,
there is cause for joy."
