WLS for Dummies was my purchase.

I'd read anything Beth suggests and "The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery" is on my list for purchase.

Another book is:

This is NOT Brain Surgery...
But There IS a Magic Pill!
A Mental Health Companion For the Gastric Bypass Patient

by Dr. Teri Kai Holtzclaw, Ph.D

The BOLD is the exact title.

Dr. Holtzclaw was a Gastric Bypass patient. I scanned the Preface in case you're interested in getting this book HERE. (.pdf file, Adobe Acrobat Reader required)

This book is basically about WLS and Mental Wellness. Well, you'll get the idea from the preface.

Nearly 16 TEN pound bowling balls down... OMG, let me pinch myself!

I don't want to know how much I have left to lose -- I find it encouraging to see how far I've come!
