Weightloss Surgery for Dummies is also supposed to be really good. I've got a PDF copy of it, on my laptop. Hoping between the two, I'll be all set. :)

Don't waste your money on WLS for Dummies. It's so outdated it isn't even funny. If someone has a copy you can borrow fine or if you can get at a library but I read it like 10 years ago and lots was outdated then so it's really bad for now. Things change quickly in the bariatric world.
GOOGLE!
You can find everything on line that you need - without having to spend money (save that for plastics)!!
Check pinterest for WLS recipes, bariatric recipes, etc. Tons of people have boards full of really great info that is one click away.
