Few  professionals are as knowledgeable as Huberman in understanding the  emotional journey that leads to candidates' massive weight gains, or the  host of problems that may eventuate after surgery... The author  approaches this sensitive topic as a consonant professional, but with a  sense of humor that I have rarely seen in a book of this sort. His own  personal struggles with lifelong weight issues become a story line...which  allows the reader to easily connect with him and enjoy his humor and  breezy style. I thoroughly enjoyed Huberman's book...Through Thick &  Thinshould be a must read for anyone contemplating weight loss  surgery---for that matter, anyone who has lifelong weight issues in general."---STEVEN T. FISHMAN, PH.D.Board Certified in Clinical & Behavioral Psychology (ABPP)Director & Founder, Institute for Behavior Therapy"Warren Huberman writes in a humorous but well thought out way,  addressing the myriad of issues facing people on their weight loss journey.  Speaking from personal experience, his rapport with the subject is  unparalleled. He brings true insight into complex issues and gives people a  real way of addressing problems. This book is a must have for everyone!  We all know someone who has tried to lose weight. What we learn from the  book is how we can all be better and more mindful to our friends,  colleagues and family."---MARINA KURIAN, MD Assistant Professor of Surgery, NYU School of MedicineNYU Langone Weight Management Program--(All reviews are for the paperback edition.)
