A book on Vertical Sleeve?
So I'm thinking about getting the vertical sleeve done in Mexico bc 1) I don't have insurance and 2) it's cheap(er) than here in the states. I feel like since I'm not getting it done here I don't really have a support team (other than this forum ;) for information. I was wondering if anyone has found/read a good book about VSG. There's a Bariatric Surgery for Dummies I found on amazon, however, one reviewer stated that if you're getting VSG, don't get this book since they don't talk much about it. I can't find anything else that looks good. I can not make up my mind about this surgery and am just confused about what to do.
I have no idea what life will be like afterwards and am just looking for a good resource to help me come to a conclusion.

The book is a nice general overview of the surgery the lifestyle and several different techniques. The last chapter is testimonials about Dr. Alvarez' patients but overall no biased toward him in particular and a nice companion for anyone. Of course I happen to be one of his happy patients so I AM VERY BIASED :)
