Book Synopsis
Medical science has been developing a number of ways to address obesity. Among the most revolutionary is surgical intervention to alter the gastrointestinal system so that less food/nutrients can be consumed or absorbed. This book is based on interviews with gastric-bypass patients who reflect on their lives before and after surgery.

Trade Review
"ABBV: Thinking about some of the psychological changes I've gone through as I've lost weight - I had no idea. I mean, I did not have a clue that life could be so different. MONA: Ninety percent of the fat is between your ears. It's in your brain. I think that's what I have to work on: Changing the fat mentality. GORDON: When you lose the weight, you are going to find out something about yourself."
