If you want to know why millions of intelligent people choose weight loss surgery every year, "Permanent Surgical Weight Loss" has the answer. With a solid scientific background and a genuine understanding of the hurdles caused by excess weight, Dr. Brian Quebbemann explains how weight loss surgery can maximize your weight loss and help you keep the pounds off forever. This book is written in an easy, simple style and packed with valuable facts on why weight loss surgery routinely succeeds when diets and weight loss drugs fail. Using clear examples and insight from real patients, "Permanent Surgical Weight Loss" is a road map to dramatic weight loss success.
This book provides new insight into why you find yourself in this battle against obesity and how you can use bariatric surgery to finally succeed at permanent weight loss. It provides new concepts on excess weight, weight loss and bariatric surgery that will make sense. You will read it and say to yourself "Yeah, that's true. Why didn't anyone explain it to me that way before?"What this book does not tell you is how magical surgery is. It also does not tell you how surgery will make it easier to follow all the bad dieting advice you've been hearing for years.Instead, I explain how the lousy dieting advice that's everywhere around you does not work for thin people, does not work for fit people, and won't work for you. Putting yourself on a diet you hate in order to be thin does not work without surgery, and it will not work with surgery. What will work is for you to identify a new, personal set of eating habits that you enjoy and that keeps the weight off forever. And bariatric surgery can help you do just that.I hope you enjoy reading!Brian B. Quebbemann, MD, FACS, FASMBS

Obesity is an epidemic in America and in every modern country in the world. But, until now, the prevailing "solution" has been something I liken to torture: forcing sane, normal people to follow one rigid formula after another, to achieve a specific weight. Every one of the hundreds of diet books and weight-loss programs out there offer rigid "solutions" that are nearly impossible to follow long-term for one reason: They force you to adopt someone elses's idea of what to eat. That doesn't work. Weight loss is more about getting to live the life you want to live and finding your best weight to do that. In terms of succeeding at weight loss, improving your health, and extending your life, bariatric surgery is the single most successful method. After 20 years helping thousands of people to permanently lose weight, I have seen bariatric surgery repeatedly succeed when all other methods have failed.
