Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  PERHAPS a good book for us.... I havent bought this book but it sounds very good! JUST thought i share the book with my friends: Matrix Medical Communications Announces Release of Emotional First + Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery Edgemont, PA—February 1, 2006—Matrix Medical Communications today announced the release of a new book for weight loss surgery patients, The Emotional First Aid + Kit: A Practical Guide to Life after Bariatric Surgery by Cynthia Alexander, PsyD. Dr. Alexander is a psychologist with the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Florida. “The Emotional First Aid Kit is written specifically for weight loss surgery candidates and patients to teach them the psychological tricks of the trade that will help make their weight loss surgery journeys successful,” said Dr. Alexander. “The book’s valuable advice isn’t limited to surgical patients, however. It gives anyone struggling with weight loss the tools to move beyond their roadblocks and adopt new lifestyle changes.” Readers can utilize downloadable patient worksheets that are available through the book, and can learn realistic and practical strategies for dealing with emotional difficulties encountered before and after weight loss surgery—strategies that help individuals: · Relieve stress without using food · Modify unhealthy behavior · Overcome hurdles in establishing a consistent exercise program · Deal with negative reactions by friends, family, and spouse to weight loss · Prevent relapse… and more. “This book is a must-read for your weight loss surgery candidates and is sure to be a lifelong resource for all readers who have struggled with weight loss,” said Elizabeth Klumpp, Executive Editor of The Emotional First + Aid Kit and Challenges of Caring for the Obese Patient. The Emotional First Aid + Kit is available for purchase at www.bariatrictimes.com.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Administrator  | WAIT !!! Before ordering this book... Please know that I spoke with the publisher and will be receiving a review copy soon. Let me read it and I will post an honest review of it. After speaking with the publisher it sounds like it could really be good. I just want to make sure it isn't just another psycho-babble book that doest hit home for us. It is not cheap, so lets make sure it is worth it. Craig
