From the Introduction
The gastric sleeve removes a significant portion of the stomach, and with it the hunger that many patients have spent years trying to outmanoeuvre. What follows is a different relationship with food — and with the body, and with the self — that the fifty writers here describe with a candor that few public accounts of bariatric surgery offer.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

These accounts follow the journey to gastric sleeve surgery: the weight history, the decision and evaluation process, the procedure itself, and the recovery period where new habits of eating must be built almost from nothing. Writers describe complications and adaptations, the emotional texture of changing rapidly, and what life looked like one, two, and three years later.

Who it's for

For those weighing the decision to have a gastric sleeve procedure, those in recovery, and partners and family members who want a realistic picture of the journey as others have lived it.
