This sensitive, sympathetic book helps readers determine whether or
not weight-loss surgery is right for them. Author Michelle Ritchie
shares both her personal journey as a successful weight-loss
surgery patient and her professional advice as an experienced
weight-loss counselor. In sometimes funny, sometimes painful prose,
she discusses her life before and after surgery and bluntly
analyzes her own complicity in her obesity. As she describes her
four-year battle to maintain her new, healthy weight, Ritchie
emphasizes personal responsibility, reminding readers that surgery
is not a quick-fix solution but a tool that works only as well as
the choices patients make after the procedure. Also included are a
detailed description of gastric bypass surgery; its pros and cons;
tips for keeping weight off after surgery; daily food plans and
sample shopping lists; information on cross-addictions; and a
thoughtful discussion on intimacy and relationships after surgery.
