Description
'It is estimated that there are approximately six million morbidly obese persons in the United States and that some 60,000 operations are performed annually in the hope of controlling the condition and its attendant diseases. Hence the need for this book which expresses the anguish, fears, hope and joy of those who have undertaken the journey from the chronic intractable, progressive immolation of morbid obesity towards the long wished for glorious anonymity of physical normality.' -from the foreword by Alex M.C. Macgregor, MD, FACS, FRCSEd, Past President, American Society for Bariatric Surgery
