FOOD FOR THE SOUL!
If you're looking for medical facts about weight loss surgery Teri Holtzclaw's books are definitely not what you are seeking.
This author is controversial because her books are about tough topics surrounding weight loss and not about weight loss specifically. Her books are geared towards WLS patients who are over the euphoria of losing all their weight and are now concentrating on retaining their weight loss, despite their brain's attempt to sabotage it. The Magic Pill conbines Teri Holtzclaw's Primer with many of her useful messages. I find that the her method of providing short-read's, some call it brochure-like,to make sense. I think the author knew what she was doing when she called her books "companions" and not "novels." Since my sugery, I can only digest small qauntities of food at a time. The Magic Pill is just small enough for my spirit to digest on a daily basis. I think I liked this book so much because the author reminds us to feed our souls.

Not good
Poor design. Men: Don't buy this book. Women: If you are into New Age "feelings" and alternative lifestyles, you might like this book.
