Clearly and sensitively written, this outstanding book is an important contribution to achieving long-term weight loss for the gastric bypass surgery patient. Ms. Peck has deep compassion, respect and understanding of the lives of the morbidly obese.

This is an extraordinary book with wisdom and insight on every page. Paula Peck has produced a remarkably practical and very readable volume. It is a veritable roadmap, or better, a complete travel guide for those on the journey toward health and wholeness via bariatric surgery. Written with charm, humor and compassion Exodus from Obesity is must reading for everyone considering weight loss surgery.

Congratulations on a job very well done!! I believe it will be a great tool for me to use not only in my personal life, but as a support group leader. The contents in the book reaches out to me about many of the "mental" issues we face and ways to rise above the pain from the past...Other books I have read mainly deal with the "physical" issues and the ins and outs of the surgery...Surgery is the easy part compared to dumping all the baggage we accumulated as obese people. You have given me new hope that I can turn this back around and I plan on using your book over and over again to guide me every step of the way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have seen a number of books on gastric bypass surgery, mostly inspirational renditions of "my story". Your book is just filled with real, practical info for living with this.

Your book has been the kick in the fanny I need to set me right. One thing that hit me right between the eyes was your observation that the good food, what we should be eating, is along the perimeter of a grocery store. I played that over in my mind, retracing the various stores I shop at, and in each case, that was true. So that little hint may have been one of the best in the book!
