From the reviews: "This is a convenient, multifaceted guide to the principles and practice of bariatric surgery and related topics. ... The manual is targeted primarily at the members of the multidisciplinary team involved in a bariatric surgery program: surgeons, fellows and residents, physician extenders, nutritionists, nurses, psychologists, and specialty physicians. ... It will also be a valuable addition to the reference section of medical libraries." (Isaac Samuel, Doody's Review Services, December, 2008)
