I haven't read a book since I was required to in high school, so audiobook is a great way for me to get some great information

g the surgeries spoken about, I will be utilizing the dietary recommendations listed within.

I am a patient of Dr V, and I continue to refer back to this book often. If you follow the info in this book, you will succeed. Thank you so much Dr V for my health, and for the new life you have given me. I love everything about you and your staff.

Sound advice

I’m a little over a year out from my surgery. I listened to this book prior to surgery and after my gastric sleeve. I’m getting ready to listen to it again. I’m 5’8:
Highest weight 293
Current weight 188
Goal weight 175

His advice works. And he supplies the reasons why his advice works. He also has a YouTube channel you can follow.

I don’t like some the voice of the narrator when he asks the questions, but that’s personal preference.

Best Book On The Gastric Sleeve

This book is so helpful and I absolutely learned so much from it. It’s packed with information about what to expect before surgery and after surgery. What you may or may not experience. It has quizzes, and has chapter summaries.

Dr. Duc C. Vuong has created The texture scale and goes over what it means. It’s been a great help. I purchased the book (softcover) in 2016 and wore out the pages, marked them as well. Very informative. He goes over how to handle work, holiday, birthday parties or special occasions and what you may or may not experience. I recommend this book especially those individuals who are looking for the ultimate success with their new tool.

A great teaching tool

I enjoyed this book. So much information to digest. I believe this book is even for a person not choosing a sleeve surgery who wants to be reprogrammed with a healthy eating plan and strategy. I’m keeping this as a long term reference.

Awesome!

Loved it! I enjoyed listening...it was very informative. It was very interesting. I will be sharing this book.

Great Advice on Healthy Living - Surgery or Not

I am considering and researching getting WLS. I found Dr. Vuong's advice to be very helpful for even people just looking to make healthy changes to their lifestyle. The narrator has a pleasant voice and conveys Dr. Vuong's enthusiasm for healthy eating and changing people's attitudes for it. Honestly, whether you are considering gastric sleeve or another WLS, or just want some solid tips and help keeping a positive attitude for changing to a healthy life style, I highly recommend this book.

A must read for anyone

Great book a must read for anyone and everyone looking at weight loss surgery. Don't have weight loss surgery by any doctor until you have read this book it will help you understand what is expected of you.
