The authors are passionate about helping people achieve and maintain their ideal body weight, and they know that anyone who chooses to undergo bariatric surgery will experience bumps in the road towards maintaining their weight loss. One size does not fit all they say; everyone’s body is unique and everyone faces a unique set of challenges. The guide is written to help readers adapt what they learn to fit their own circumstances.
“There’s no shame in asking for medical help for a physical problem,” says Dr. Nicholson, “you’re going to have to work hard for the surgery to be successful, but it’s safer to have weight loss surgery than to remain morbidly obese. Losing weight isn’t easy, but then nothing worth doing ever is. This is your one and only life. Shape it into what you want it to be. You can do this.”
Running a clinic in Texas, one of the top ten most obese States in the USA, he is well positioned to know his ‘business’, but equally the book doesn’t just have words from Dr. Nicholson. It is in fact, littered with first-hand thoughts, experiences and emotions from other ‘real people who have gone on the journey with weight loss surgery.
