This book is a detailed step-by-step guide for anyone who is considering weight loss surgery. It offers invaluable advice on what to do before surgery, and what to expect during and after the operation. More than fifty years ago, the search for the perfect weight loss operation began: obesity was quite rare then, but its negative health effects became noticeable. Recognizing the increasing need to help obese people, surgical pioneers created innovative procedures that produced malabsorption, then restriction, and they eventually combined the two techniques. The obesity epidemic was the catalyst for many changes in the area of bariatric surgery, creating a demand in treatment for severe obesity and its distressing effects. In fact, bariatric surgery has witnessed more advances over the last decade than in the previous fifty years. The first wave of advances during this past decade can be attributed to the gradual creation and standardization of safer, more effective, and durable operations, such as adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en Y gastric bypass, sleeve gartrectomy, and duodenal switch. The second wave of advances can be attributed to the advent of minimally invasive surgery in the 1990s. Obesity is associated with several medical comorbidities, including Type II diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, arthritis in weight-bearing joints, gallbladder and liver disease, and several kinds of cancer. Nevertheless, in many instances, weight decrease can result in dramatic improvement in health status. The occurrence of bariatric surgery has increased exponentially in recent years, and its contribution has had a major impact on the pandemic of morbid obesity. This book, written by well-known bariatric surgeons, plans to improve people's knowledge and comprehension of obesity and weight-loss surgery. Several chapters will assist you during your journey of weight loss and surgery in a systematic approach, and deliver insight into the basic comprehension of which variables contribute to or prevent the development of obesity and overweight.

The Overweight Mind and Body is a self-help guide to understanding the psychological issues that lead to overeating and weight gain. The book enables the reader to discover the psychological drives that lead to unwanted weight and to find ways of meeting those drives other than with food. It introduces a simple, user-friendly theory of Transactional Analysis to promote weight-related self-awareness. The author includes exercises that empower readers to uncover their own stories. She understands that, for many, carrying extra weight is emotionally and physically painful and so gently encourages readers to explore at their own level. She uses case studies to demonstrate the many unconscious influences on one’s eating and how, when people discover and resolve these influences, they no longer need extra food. Reading them shows that "you are not alone". This book will also be of interest to, and a useful guide for, practitioners in the caring professions who work with clients struggling with eating and overweight.

This book is about how different foods work within your body: how some of them give you the nutrition and energy you need; while others give you energy but provide little or no nutrition and have a powerful tendency to lay down fat. If you eat the nutritional foods and exclude the fat-building foods, even if you eat as much as you did before, you will lose weight. So does this book promote a tasteless, boring diet that you won't want to eat? Not at all. It provides a route map to dietary changes which will enable you to choose your ingredients and lose weight while enjoying meals that will probably be more appetising and healthier than the ones you eat today. But be warned. Much of what you currently believe about food and diets will be challenged by the author. For decades the food industry and some in the medical profession have given advice that has caused rather than cured some of our most pressing health problems and has actually created today's obesity epidemic. So read this book and seize your chance to Escape from Obesity.

"'Transformation' relates my journey out of obesity by the power of the Holy Spirit. At 49, I was 120-150 pounds overweight, and felt helpless and hopeless in overcoming my lifelong struggle with food addiction and obesity. Confronted with declining health and comfort, I asked God for His help, turning the struggle over to Him. ... I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit for the first time. God did a miracle in my life that night in April 2006 and began a powerful transformation, both in my heart and body. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I was filled with joyous anticipation of God's ability in my life, and I began to lose weight. Early into the transformation, God told me to write a journal of my experiences and the lessons He would teach me in the journey of transformation. He directed me to seek publication of the journal of the first 80 pounds lost, and gave me a vision of beginning a spiritual support group at my church for women struggling with these issues."

Obesity is a major national health problem, and science has been developing a number of ways to address it. The most revolutionary is surgical intervention to alter the gastrointestinal system so that less food/nutrients can be consumed and/or absorbed. People who undergo this surgery usually experience drastic weight loss and dramatic health improvements. They also discover a new sense of self and face challenges often unimaginable when they were obese. Using in-depth, first person accounts of 33 men and women who underwent weight-loss surgery, this book elaborates on the complexities of finally getting what you wished for— the good, the bad, and the totally unexpected. We live in a culture fascinated by physical make-overs, but no one talks about their psychological consequences. Losing a lot of weight is perhaps the most extreme make-over of all. It leaves people emotionally changed, and these changes are the heart of this book.The fascinating narratives contain important lessons for individuals considering or having had the surgery and for those who try to help them. It is simply a story of how finally getting what you’ve always wished for can be much more complicated affair than you ever imagined.

We want to be slim more than anything else in the world, so why do we have an obesity epidemic? If the solution is as simple as ‘eat less and do more’, why are 90% of today’s children facing a fat future? What if the current diet advice is not right? What if trying to eat less is making us fatter? What if everything we thought we knew about dieting is wrong? This is, in fact, the case. This book will de-bunk every diet myth there is and change the course of The Obesity Epidemic. This is going to be a ground breaking journey, shattering every preconception about dieting and turning current advice upside down. Did you know that we did a U-Turn in our diet advice thirty years ago? Obesity has increased ten fold since – coincidence or cause? Discover why we changed our advice and what is stopping us changing it back; discover the involvement of the food industry in our weight loss advice; discover how long we have known that eating less and doing more can never work and discover what will work instead. There is a way to lose weight and keep it off, but the first thing you must do is to throw away everything you think you know about dieting. Because everything you think you know is actually wrong. The diet advice we are being given, far from being the cure of the obesity epidemic, is, in fact, the cause.

“The cacophony of voices about our bodies is so loud, it’s hard to hear the voices that matter. Some of us decide to forget it all and give in to one addiction or another. I’ve done that. Some of us decide to perfect our bodies and obsess over every muscle or wrinkle. I’ve done that too. Then I discovered the truth about my body: It is a gift. A sign of God’s love. And so is yours.” Many of us think of our bodies as burdens that drag us toward failure and guilt. But what if God actually glories in the flesh? What if we had the same joy about our bodies as God does? Ragan Sutterfield brings us back to a biblical perspective—a freeing, corrective viewpoint that reminds us of the connection between spirit, mind, and body. Along the way, he shares his journey from overweight addict to Ironman competitor. He counts his success, though, not in his decreased clothing size but in his increased understanding of how much God loves the body and what it means to take care of his whole being. This is a story for each of us. As a teenager, Ragan Sutterfield tried extreme dieting to get rid of childhood chubbiness. As a young adult, he wrestled with his Christian culture’s tenets about the dangers of the body. As a man, he became an obese smoker in a failing marriage. And he began a journey of understanding that changed his life. Weaving together biblical insight, personal story, and thoughtful reflection, This Is My Body offers an inspiring look at God’s creation of each of us as human beings, in the flesh. It is an examination of spiritual disciplines, sex, self-image, eating, environmental responsibilities, and the church’s role in misunderstandings about the body. It is also a celebration of Communion—the moment when Jesus reminded his disciples that he, too, is flesh. Spiritually rich, this is an eloquent exploration of the body in all its God-given glory.

"I know firsthand how limiting it can be growing up and living a life with a body that is abnormally big. I have been there. Hated it. It is definitely not a time I look upon with fond memories." A "big" boy at birth and everybody said he looked beautiful - like a prince. But nobody could foresee a demon later would live within him, insidiously nibbling away at his mind and body. By the age of six he had gained considerable weight and at the age of seventeen he was considered obese. At school, this physicality attracted racial jokes, humiliation, ridicule, depression - and ultimately an attempted suicide. Just after he had sufficiently recovered from these "nightmares", another punishment awaited him - a bowel disease that has no cure. Feeling embarrassed by his big body, he shut himself off from family and friends and missed all the fun and happiness which other boys and people of his age were enjoying. Concomitantly, his anger towards his parents multiplied, who could only watch helplessly. A poignant story about a young person's struggle with obesity, completed just a week before his death. Educational, engrossing, riveting, heart wrenching. An excellent book for an understanding of obesity.
