In a book expressly written to drive home the point, \"This is not an easy way out\", Jo describes her journey to a completely new life after Bariatric Surgery. Touching on topics such as food addiction, abuse, obese pregnancies, and finding love and acceptance, the book also describes the ins-and-outs of a life-changing Weight Loss procedure, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve), with heavily researched detail. Real-life accounts of her experiences with finding a surgeon, choosing the right procedure for her, dealing with preoperative jitters, diet, and surgery itself provide an in-depth look from a patient's perspective that seeks to help others who may be considering going down the same path. Self-reflection and complete honesty have brought forth this book that is beautifully written, relatable, and informative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45563151450263,"sku":"9798712790494","price":1857.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798712790494.webp?v=1768599204","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/memoir-of-a-food-addict-a-surgical-weight-loss-story-9798712790494","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
