From the reviews: "The book emphasizes the scope of various emerging methods and modalities in this rapidly changing field to provide more options to a greater number of obese patients. Targeted primarily at bariatric specialists, gastroenterologists, and endoscopists, the book is also a useful reference for medical weight management providers, residents in training, and medical students. ... This concise and excellent book is useful reading for anyone involved in the treatment of patients facing obesity and related metabolic complications."
