About the Book

Say Goodbye to Obesity is an easy-to-read book that explains the process for weight loss surgery. It takes a comprehensive look at researching the decision to have weight loss surgery, where to look for information, how to locate a certified bariatric surgeon, how to prepare for the insurance approval to the kind of money needed for private pay, and what to expect after you have had the surgery.

Unlike some of the other weight loss surgery books, two real women who actually experienced weight loss surgery wrote this book. They wanted to share their life altering experiences with others who have suffered as they have suffered. Their stories are real and their compassion for those who struggle with the fight against obesity is evident in their writings. Not only did they compile the information, share their stories and stories from others who have undergone weight loss surgery, they have gone beyond that. They offer suggestions and advise to give their readers the tools they need to make an informed decision and end their battle with obesity.


About the Author

"Let us share our stories. As the authors of this book, and as two people who have enjoyed very successful outcomes from our decision to pursue surgical weight loss, we want you to know that it is possible to win the battle with your body, and ultimately, make peace with it."

"As human beings we are made up of a wide range of emotions and we can choose our emotional responses, actions, and reactions. Often it is our perceptions, judgments, expectations, and fears about a person, event, or situation that provokes an emotional reaction within us. If we change our perceptions and attitudes about the person or event, and eliminate our expectations and fears, we can choose action instead of reaction."
