The Weight-Loss Surgery Connection
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.

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 is reflected in the pages. The support that is given through the website “Weight Loss Connection” is a blessing!

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 have however gotten to know Melissa Parish (the author) from joining her website that shares the same name as her book (Weight-Loss Surgery Connection). I have been so pleased with the uplifting comments and help provided by Melissa and the rest of the group on-line. There (and the book as well) you get honest support and feedback from people who have actually gone through the surgery. Not a book written by a surgeon who while they may have performed hundreds of surgeries has never personally gone through what I go through on a daily basis.
I highly recommend this book!

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! The Parish’s do a great job in maintaining the web site associated with this book as well. They are constantly giving great advice, direction and encouraging people toward a healthier, happier life. Great Job Melissa and Dan!

This book is written for those of us who need to know the reality of what gastric bypass surgery is like. You get insight on pre-op, post-op and what life is really like in the many months to come. The information on how to stay positive and succeed at changing your life through gastric bypass. Melissa diBin-Parish talks to you about real life experience and real people who have had the surgery and changed thier lives with the help of her message boards and infinite knowledge on the subject. She is truly an inspiration. She is honest, sincere and passionate in her commitment to the those she writes about in her book and the thousands of others she has touched. The Weightloss Surgery Connection is a wonderful book. It covers the start of the journey and takes you all the way through to help those who are 10 years out. I can’t say enough about how easy it is to read, you feel like you are sitting down in your living room talking with her face to face. I will keep this book close at hand for the rest of my life, knowing that if I need some help with an issue with my surgery, I can get an answer in the book or directly from her on her Weightloss Surgery Connection message board. Help is always available!!
