Product Description
EYES OF THE FAT MAN is about the surgical procedure called gastric bypass or gastric reduction, gastrostomy, gastric resectioning or stomach stapling. It is for people who need to lose weight and thought it impossible. The procedure is not impractical or beyond your reach. People don't need another diet book (that's exploitation). They do need to know about gastric reduction. They need first hand information. Unfortunately, their doctors aren't telling them. I should have known about gastric reduction ten years ago. I thought it was only for the most extreme cases and that it was difficult to manage. I was just plain uninformed. There are millions of people like me, as the emotional and physical disorder of obesity is endemic. Maybe I can wake you up.

 excellent brief August 6, 2004
pen
An excellent brief book that encompasses not only the subject of obesity and the current state of the art solution, but also gives a theory of substance dependence, and clarifies the distinction between most obesity and dependency on food. It is the clearest current guide on what gastric reduction is, why it is so effective, and how it may change or save your life. There are typos, but wonderfully clear diagrams and it can be read by anyone. No expertise needed. Don't trust the hired Amazon reviewers.

I wanted to love this book. I'm exploring gastric bypass surgery and this is one of the few books I could find. Dr. Martin, as an MD who has gone through the procedure, has a unique opportunity to give detailed advice from the inside. Unfortunately the advice is not nearly as detailed as I need and the book reads like it was transcribed from an audiotaped lecture by someone with a limited vocabulary. Typos, sentence fragments, paragraphs out of context, mistakes like "undue lading" for "undulating" and "peculiar ready" for "peculiarity," a length of 93 pages in a large double-spaced font ... this book is not nearly ready for prime time. Dr. Martin, write a much longer expanded edition and get a proofreader and editor! I'd especially like to hear more about what to expect post surgery.
