Weight Loss Surgery: The Stranger in the Mirror

A touchingly candid and personal account of lifelong obesity and its emotional, social and physical impact, Ellie Salser takes you on a journey that intimately chronicles her life-changing decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery. Sharing her experiences to the world in the hopes of reaching out to those struggling with weight-related issues, the book is a timeline that begins with the realization and acceptance of her weight problem. Revealing a determination and strength of character that carried Ellie through months of exhaustive research, numerous medical consultations and the difficult decision-making process, the book also details the lengthy preparation, psychological and emotional issues, the surgery, the aftermath and both the positive and negative issues she has dealt with in the 5 years since. It is with great pride that Ellie no longer sees herself as a stranger in the mirror, but a beautiful woman who successfully changed her life.
