A Guide to Weight Loss Surgery: Professional and Personal Views (The Praeger Series on Contemporary Health and Living)
"Uniquely positioned to write this book, Hamilton (Harvard Medical School) is a female physician who has undergone successful bariatric surgery. Thus, woven within a framework of empathy and sensitivity is a very current, information-packed must read for anyone in the weight loss field….Hamilton offers widely useful guidelines on topics such as choosing a surgeon and wading through the mysterious insurance approval process. She describes physiological processes in easily understood terms, and fully references up-to-date information….Instead of giving bariatric surgery just a subheading amid the treatment options for obesity, Hamilton has placed it front and center, where--given today's grim weight loss statistics--it certainly belongs.
