"This book has become my WLS bible. I asked my husband and my family to read it as well. I read it first a few months before surgery and am reading it again several days postop. It is an indispensible guide to what might happen. As the authors stress, everyone is different and their experiences won't necessarily be yours but what a GREAT guide to what might happen, what to avoid, what to enjoy and so. These are things the doctors don't mention, the support groups forget and we just don't know until we know. And then it might be frightening. Get the information first!
If you're having or considering having WLS, BUY THIS BOOK.
That's my 2 cents. "
"I first met dr. nasbaum when i attended a lecture at st. barnabas hospital for people interested in having WLS. He was knowledgable and patient at the end of what must have been a long day for him as I now know he had several surgeries that day. When I had my individual meeting with him, he inspired great confidence without being arrogant. He made me feel like he would take really good care of me while being on the cutting edge of the field. His office staff is phenominal. Wanda, in particular, has been a huge support to me answering all questions (inane and otherwise) with kindness and care. He and his staff emphasize the supports in place to help post op such as the nutritiionists, metabolic specialists, exercise physiologists, etc. I have felt fully supported and educated by Dr. Nusbaum and his staff. I highly recommend him. "
"The nurses and the staff were helpful and kind. Dr. Nusbaum was excellent and i feel very grateful to have found him. He instilled such confidence while being compassionate and kind. All over, the experience couldn't have been more positive."
