The Magic Pill: A Mental Health Companion for the Gastric Bypass Patient

Rating:
Summary: A wake-up call
Review: Everyone has a point of view. I liked the book. I don't have a lot of hang ups about being an emotional eater so I don't think the book conjured up any passionate feeling one way or the other. It just was what it was. I would recommend this book to anyone who just wanted to read about how it feels to deal with emotions and food.

Summary: finally someone is telling it like it is...
Review: Gimme a break! gastric bypass surgery is not the end of my weight problem. It's good to finally read about the truth. It just doesn't cure you and thats it. I liked this book because it talks about the added work involved in keeping the weight off after you lose it surgically. It was worth it's cost just to hear someone say that it takes more then having a gastric bypass to lose weight and keep it off. I wonder if folks have trouble getting this book because it says stuff we don't really want to hear someone say.

Review: I was looking for information on the gastric by pass surgery. Instead what I got was chapters of individuals experiences and problems and successes. I wanted info to reference for myself. Would like to send it back.

Summary: Never Too Late To Learn
Review: It's never too late to learn something no one ever taught you. There is no price placed on enlightenment. I read this book twice. The second time I got it. If you didn't get it. Go back. It's worth the second read.

Review: Poor design. Men: Don't buy this book. Women: If you are into New Age "feelings" and alternative lifestyles, you might like this book.
