{"product_id":"9781630265304","title":"It Ain't Over 'till the Thin Lady Sings: How to Make Your Weight-Loss Surgery a Lasting Success","description":"This sensitive, sympathetic book helps readers determine whether or not weight-loss surgery is right for them. Author Michelle Ritchie shares both her personal journey as a successful weight-loss surgery patient and her professional advice as an experienced weight-loss counselor. In sometimes funny, sometimes painful prose, she discusses her life before and after surgery and bluntly analyzes her own complicity in her obesity. As she describes her four-year battle to maintain her new, healthy weight, Ritchie emphasizes personal responsibility, reminding readers that surgery is not a quick-fix solution but a tool that works only as well as the choices patients make after the procedure. Also included are a detailed description of gastric bypass surgery; its pros and cons; tips for keeping weight off after surgery; daily food plans and sample shopping lists; information on cross-addictions; and a thoughtful discussion on intimacy and relationships after surgery.","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149083754736,"sku":"9781630265304","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781630265304_p0.jpg?v=1763670200","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781630265304","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
