The support you need to be successful with weight-loss surgery
If you’re considering weight-loss surgery, or have already had it, you’re probably filled with expectations, concerns–and a million questions. Author Melissa deBin-Parish knows what you’re going through. She and her husband, Dan, lost a combined 300 pounds after their surgeries in 2003. Melissa went from a size 24 to a size 4, dramatically improved her life, and started her own support group to help other patients find the same success. Today, her website is one of the most popular and informed support groups available for patients. And now, with this comprehensive guide, she’s combined the firsthand experiences of other weight-loss surgery patients with the latest medical information to help you:
- Decide if surgery is right for you
- Choose the best surgeon and procedure
- Overcome “emotional eating”
- Get the support you need
- And keep the weight off for life!
You’ll also find invaluable insider’s tips, delicious recipes, and journal pages to make your journey positive, successful, and rewarding. And, with the right guidance, you’ll see just how wonderful it can be to transform your body, your health, your attitude, and your life.

THANK YOU!
Thank you for writing such an informative book. It is a “must have” for family members to read. We have gained so much information and appreciate the honesty and compassion that…
I looked at the book and the web site…there are much better products on the market that provide comprehensive information. Interesting that there are so many used copies of this book already available; clearly not a keeper. A much better choice for well-rounded information is The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients.
There is a web site associated with this book as well.

A must have if you are considering weight-loss surgery!
Reading this book was like having the author sitting right in front of you having a conversation. I wish I had had this book before my surgery.
I read this book in one day, but I will be referring to it for years to come. It is very well written. It not only gives all the information you need during your decision making period, but covers preop issues and post op ideas real well. I have had the surgery and I especially liked the anecdotes from people who have been there. There are also some great ideas for getting your protein, and the many good receipes included are real world… even I can prepare them. I can’t think of anything negative to say about the book. I know that the author has had the surgery and she moderates a very active online forum.

I wish I’d had this BEFORE my surgery!
I wish I had had this book before I’d had my weight loss surgery! It is full of so much good information and advice that would have saved me from having a LOT of problems!
I bought this book after my gastric bypass surgery.I was a member of the website already and Melissa and Dan helped me with all my questions and concerns-even more so than my own doctor!(who was difficult to reach sometimes)When I bought the book I read it in one sitting.If I was someone considering gastric bypass surgery this book would address all fears,concerns and doubts.I loaned it to a friend who is considering the surgery.All I know is Melissa and Dan are kind,giving dedicated people who give their lives completely to helping people considering or who have had gastric bypass surgery.They have a huge following and they do their best to answer every single question posted-an exhausting undertaking. I loved the book and plan to share it with anyone it may help.
