The Answer for the Dangerously Overweight
....
Norman B. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D.
....
"My self-image improved. I could buy clothes anywhere!"- A patient's success story

Dangerously overweight people suffer daily from the negative social, psychological, and physical consequences of excessive weight. The most serious consequence is the great risk to health that obesity presents. For people who weigh 100 or more pounds over their ideal weight, diets, exercise, and other forms of weight loss just don't work.

Fat No More is the amazing story of the surgical solutions that many are seeking. Dr. Ackerman, who has devoted two decades to helping those who fear there's no hope left, offers surgical answers to morbid obesity, from stomach stapling and intestinal bypass to liposuction and more. This is the complete guide for those who choose these solutions and for those who provide them.

Using the latest research, the author examines the physical and psychological aspects of obesity; discusses his personal experiences in treatment; and offers many success stories of patients who are living new lives, liberated from overeating and excessive weight.

Norman B. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., is professor emeritus of surgery at New York Medical College.
