Weight loss surgery is the single most effective weight loss strategy for treating severe obesity that we have today. Yet less than 1% of the eligible bariatric population takes advantage of surgery. In The Easy Way Out, registered dietitian and bariatric patient Jamie Mills shares why bariatric surgery is not only challenging, but why going into any weight loss strategy with eyes wide open can make all the difference. Having weight loss surgery and changing your entire life is far from easy, but damn, is it worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFORWARD FEATURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Eric Smith, the renowned celebrity surgeon (as seen on TLC's 1000-LB Sisters) from Ashland, Kentucky, and recognized for his exceptional achievements in robotic bariatric and general surgery, lends his expertise as he writes the forward for this compelling book.
