Date: Monday, 9:43 AM
From: Julianne Kennedy
Dear Friend,
f you're here reading this letter then I'm going to presume, like me, you are interested in losing weight... not just 5-10lbs, you want to lose A LOT of weight, like 100 pounds or more.
But before we go further..


"Let's Get Something Out-In-The-Open"
"Let me put you at ease by saying this report is not about a new 'diet fad' or 'wonder-pill' that never works.
"I'm not selling a 'weight-loss-technique'... this page is here to assist you in making some very serious decisions about weight loss surgery.
"And whether that decision is a 'Yes' or a 'No' is entirely up to you, I'm not pushing you in either direction.
"My only goal is you arrive at the decision which is best for you."
(JK).


Now that's out of the way, let's continue.
I bet, like me, you've tried a bunch of ways to lose weight like diets, exercise programs, fasting, herbal supplements, blah, blah, blah.... but none of it works.
So is there an answer to our out-of-control weight problems, or should we give up hope? I believe there may be a solution and you'll hear more about that in a moment but first..
"I'm Here Telling You This Because.."
Let me take a moment to tell you why I'm here telling you this..
I've been overweight all my life and very, very overweight for more than half of my it.
My weight problem has so over-powered the rest of my life that by 2-years ago I had sunk to the lowest point ever emotionally and in my health.
I have:


Low self-esteem. Thankfully it's easy for me to sound confident when I'm in my room alone typing this to you.


Chronic depression (have you ever been tested? You may be surprised how many morbidly obese are depressed and don't even know it)


Diabetes,


High blood pressure,


Joint degeneration you'd expect to see in a much older person,


Heart congestion


And then of course (I'm really putting myself-out-there right now by saying this):


I have problems with personal hygeine


I look fat and ugly in no matter what I wear

I'm ashamed of what I've let my body become and as a result I've let many of my friendships die due to embarrassment

"What about you?
Do you relate
to anything I'm saying?"
My mother, bless-her-heart, was herself heart-broken to see me so sad and depressed, she somehow feels responsible. And so she said this..
"Maybe (Or Maybe Not) The Solution To Your
Soul-Destroying Weight Problem Is..."
"Weight Loss Surgery".
Immediately after my mother said that, these thoughts went through my head:


"Can't you die from weight loss surgery? What the heck, I'm probably gonna die young anyway, may as well be on the operating table."


"But hang on, I know a couple that had weight loss surgery and they look like 'walking-corpses', I think I'd rather be fat."

"Actually, that's not true for everyone though, is it? Randy from 'American Idol' looks awesome since his surgery."

By the time my mind settled down, the only thing I was certain of is..
"Weight Loss Surgery Is Not Right For Everyone And You Must Do A LOT Of Research Before You Decide If..."
Read what's inside the box..


Important Tip #1:
"Research Is Everything"
Before you decide if weight loss surgery is right for you. Please, please, please do enough research... I can't stress this enough.
I've spent the last 10 months investigating weight loss surgery and I've seen it definitely does CHANGE lives... but not always for the better.
Why?
Because some people 'decide' to have the surgery without really knowing what they're in for nor knowing how to prepare for what lay ahead--> BIG, COSTLY, AVOIDABLE, MISTAKE!
If you take nothing else from this letter, please remember to do many hours and days of research into weight loss surgery.
I'll soon show you a resource that has all the research you need in one place, condensed and packaged especially for people like you and I.



But the 'kicker' is this:


"You can't just go speak with a weight loss surgery doctor or other person in the industry if you want an unbiased conversation about the facts you REALLY need to hear."

Here's why..
"You Can't 100% Trust the Advice of Any Doctor That Knows A Lot About Weight Loss Surgery Because..."
For 6-months I devoured every piece of information I could find

Books
Magazines
Web sites
Forums and
Chat rooms

.. but there is one piece of the pie that you cannot find anywhere:
"Expert medical advice from an UNBIASED doctor."
Ask your local MD and you'll discover he or she doesn't really know very much... I actually found, that after my few months of research she knew less about it than I did.
Only doctors working in the field "really" know about weight loss surgery...
...but the problem is this:
A doctor actively working in the field of weight loss surgery is not capable of giving unbiased advice BECAUSE you getting surgery is very good for his or her bank balance.
Weight loss surgery is a modern day Gold-Rush for the medical industry. It is predicted by 2010, there will be 475,000 Americans eligible for surgery (Health Affairs, July 12th, 2005).
Considering the average cost in 2004 was $30,000 to $40,000, if no complications (Aon, "Bariatric Surgery Policy Guidance", 2004), there is LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of money to be made by hospitals, doctors, drug companies etc.


The explosion in money-to-be-made has been matched by an explosion in competitors-for-your-dollar.

End result...
... every professional you speak to, associated with the money-end of this industry, is beginning to sound like a used-car salesman.
Bottom line --> They want you to have weight loss surgery in their hospital, and they may 'control' the facts to make it happen!


Important Fact #1:
"Most Surgeons Are Completely Biased and Won't Recommend The Surgery That's Best For You! Here's Why.."
You have several surgery types available to you.
However, most surgeons can only perform one of them because it takes a lot of skill and experience to be able to perform more than one.
So when you visit a surgeon, 99 out of a 100 times, if you are a candidate for surgery, he/she will recommend you receive the only type of surgery they are able to perform.
Surprised? It's shocking isn't it!
It may not be the best for you, but it IS the best for the surgeon because they make a lot of money!
You must get an UNBIASED anaylsis of each surgery type before you make any decision.
But how do you get an unbiased analysis?
"I'm about to tell you.."


As far as I was concerned there was really only one viable option left, and it was a DRASTIC one..
"Why My Drastic, Compulsive Decision is Fantastic News For You.."
I readily admit I'm obsessive-compulsive and at times, like when I'm cleaning my house or researching a topic of interest, it's a good quirk to have because I do an over-the-top job of it...
But this time, my obsession was quickly turning into insanity because my search for a knowledgeable but UNBIASED doctor was like driving a car without wheels... lots a revving but still not getting anywhere.
Eventually, I got sick of the same old 'car-salesman-response' to my questions, so I did something very, very drastic..

"I hired a doctor to research weight loss surgery and write me a full-blown, unbiased guide!"

"I'm not kidding! That's really what I did."
I advertised and found a female doctor that has stopped working while she raises her young children and is writing medical guides at home to keep herself in 'the game' and make a bit of spending money.
We spoke and she was perfect.. smart, eager and best of all.. completely UNBIASED on the topic of weight loss surgery.
She spent 6-weeks researching and writing what has become an 103-page ebook which answers every intelligent question about weight loss surgery you can imagine.. and much more.
The bad news for me is it cost at least $3500! (Truth be told, it actually cost me a lot more than that! But I think if I told you what it really cost me now, you wouldn't believe me... or think I'm insane --> however, I will tell you the real amount soon.. you'll be stunned).

"You can see now, I really wasn't kidding when I said I'm compulsive!"

The good news for you is, for the first time, you have the opportunity to get your own copy of my guide for very, very, very, very, very... (mmm, maybe just one more) .... very much LESS that what it cost me.
More about that later..
But first, look at what to expect in your copy of "Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™"...
Announcing Our New 'Breakthrough' Book Release...
-- Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ --
"Your New Comprehensive, Unbiased & Expert Written Guide to Weight Loss Surgery & Beyond"
Introducing the 1-of-a-kind, step-by-step survival guide to Weight Loss Surgery that provides the kind of unbiased answers and info only possible to get, if you have your own personal expert-doctor on the payroll.
-- "I know because that's what I did to get it!" --



This book turns YOU into a Weight Loss Surgery Expert

Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ is your survival guide to the 'buyer-beware' world of weight loss surgery.
It is 100% expertly written by a USA-qualified Doctor of Medicine so you can 100% trust the information it contains to help you COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND weight loss surgery and what it will mean to your life.
But best of all, the MD-author is absolutely unbiased in regard to weight loss surgery so you receive a truly balanced analysis...
...don't under-estimate the value of an unbiased analysis, it's very rare in this industry but very important.



After reading this book, you understand the entire process from now (before surgery) all the way to 1-2 years post-op and every step in between!



Important Fact #2:
"The More You Know About What to Expect With Any Surgery and Recovery Process, The Better Your Prognosis (Expected Outcome)"
Deciding whether to 'have' or 'not have' surgery is an important decision. Be very sure you have ALL the facts before you act.
But its more than just peace-of-mind.
Scientific studies have proved time-&-again, the more knowledgeable the patient is about what to expect with the entire surgery-recovery process, the better is their expected outcome.

"Patient education has been shown to improve patient compliance, outcomes, and satisfaction."

Family Pratice News,  Feb 15, 2001  by Maureen Donohue


But if you depend on the industry for your information, half the facts is all you will get because hospitals and surgeons are not exactly in the habit of discouraging patients from giving them $40,000!
This book reveals the good AND bad of EVERY weight loss surgery type!



Take a look at what you will find in your copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™...
"Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ Makes You an Expert in Weight Loss Surgery, Here's How..."
Seriously, you become an expert in Weight Loss Surgery.
The greatest benefit of having an MD to write this book, is she answered questions a regular person like you and I would never think to ask, for example:


How many surgical procedures should a surgeon have performed before he/she is acceptable as the surgeon to operate on you?

Why would you ask?
Because statistics show that surgeons who have performed over a certain number of surgeries, have a MUCH LOWER complication rate...


Translation: there's a MUCH LOWER chance of you having serious problems or dying!

In this book, you discover how many operations your surgeon should have performed. This one piece of info alone could save your life, making it easily worth the cost of this book!
But that's only a tiny example of everything you're about to discover!
Take a look at what else you find in your copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™:
Chapter 1 - Weight Loss Surgery Explained
This chapter is Weight Loss Surgery 101 and includes the important basics you need before researching deeper.


8 MOST important points of consideration before weight loss surgery - the MD author masterfully picked out the 8 quintessential points of weight loss surgery and listed them in point form. Its the perfect overview of what you need to consider and will have you hitting the ground running. (Page 5)


2 universal weight criteria you MUST meet before you qualify - to qualify for weight loss surgery you must meet 2 univerally accepted 'weight-criteria'. However if you don't, there are special circumstances that may allow you to qualify. Discover what these criteria are and if you qualify. (Page 6)


2 main classes of weight loss surgery - weight loss surgery basically has 2 effects



reduce the amount of food intake


and/or reduce absorption


Discover what procedures are available, which of the 2 above types they are and what the surgeon actually does to you. (Page 7)

#1 resource for finding a great surgeon in your area - finding a great surgeon is the most important part of the process. How are you planning on doing that? Let me show you the #1 resource for finding surgeons that perform weight loss surgery in your area..

... or any area because sometimes there may be no surgeon in your area that performs the procedure you want! (Page 9)

Chapter 2 - Pros and Cons of Weight Loss Surgery
You get a balanced scientific look at both the GOOD & BAD of Weight Loss Surgery, a very rare opportunity to see-behind-the-veil in this industry.


7 major benefits of weight loss surgery - the benefits of weight loss surgery can be classified into 7 main areas. Discover what they are and see which of your problems it will 'fix'. (Page 12)

Pros and Cons of each individual surgery type - the pros and cons differ for every surgery type. Some of these pros may be exactly what you want but on the other hand some of these cons you may never want to live with.

When consulting with a surgeon, he/she may down play the cons and highlight the pros, because they want your business and your money... That's a very important reason why you need the type of unbiased information you find in Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™. (Page 14)

Chapter 3 - How to Tell If Surgery is Right For You
Whether you say "Yes" or "No" to WLS, our only concern is you make the decision that is right for you. In this chapter we lovingly help you come to your OWN decision.


3 'Stand-Out' features - specially devised tests to help you decide, with laser-precision, if weight-loss surgery is TRULY right for you -

If you qualify physically for surgery, then take this test:



Stand-Out Feature #1:
"12 Question Test of Suitability"
12 'Yes/No' questions you must answer with a minimum 5 'Yes' to be suitable for surgery.
The MD-author of this book intelligently devised a test comprising of 12 questions for you to answer with a 'Yes' or 'No'..
...if you do not answer a minimum of 5 questions with a 'Yes', weight loss surgery may not be the right for you!
This test helps you really understand what surgery means to you and how you feel about it.
It helps you decide and understand if your decision is the best choice for you.(Page 18)
WARNING: Qualifying physically for surgery is not enough.
There is MUCH MORE you need to consider because making this life-changing decision without full consideration of all factors involved, could end up an expensive disaster you never wished for!
This test measures your suitability!


If you qualify physically and you pass Test 1 above, then take this next one:


Stand-Out Feature #2:
"12 Question Test of Personal-Timing"
12 'Yes/No' questions you must answer with a minumum 9 'Yes' for the timing to be right for surgery.
There are a 12 major considerations you must take into account before you sign-on-the-dotted-line.
Preferably all 12, or at a minimum 9 of these considerations should be in place before you commit to surgery. (Page 19).
WARNING: The effects, on you & your family, of having surgery when every area of your life is not 100% prepared could be devastating!
- This test measures your readiness! -


If you qualify physically, and you passed Test 1 and Test 2 above, take this final one:


Stand-Out Feature #3:
"9 Question Test of Level-of-Commitment"
9 'Yes/No' questions you must answer with a minumum 9 'Yes' for the being in the right state to give the level of committment required.
Weight loss surgery is one of the MOST life-changing experiences anyone can ever go through!
But is takes commitment, a lot of comitment for it to be successful.
Are you ready! Take this test to guage whether you really are. (Page 20)
WARNING: Some people have surgery only to end up obese again! Can you believe it? How devastating that must be AND a massive waste of money! Don't let that be you.
This test measures your commitment level!


Those 3 tests are highly recommended for anyone considering this type of surgery because they give you so much focus and awareness of what you are really deciding.
See what else you discover...
"We Haven't Even Scratched the Surface Yet of What You Will Discover In Your Copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™!
Let's Continue..."
If you are interested in any type of weight loss surgery, then you're going to find this book is perfect for you.
It is so informative that you will soon be calling it your weight-loss-surgery-bible.



"But can you believe so far you've only heard about the first 20 pages?! - Amazing!"


Look what else you discover:
Chapter 4 - What are the Risks of Surgery?
Unlike many medical professionals in the WLS industry, we don't down-play the risks. You get only the crystal-clear-facts... no smudging and no sugar-coating.

8 top pre-operative conditions which can cause complications - you MUST check this list to see if you are at a higher risk for complications. If you are, speaking with your surgeon about it beforehand could save your life!



Important Fact #3:
"As Many As 20% of Patients Experience Complications"
That's 1 in 5 people who undergo weight loss surgery develop a complication.
Most complications occur in the first few days after surgery.
Some are easily treatable and others require a 2nd surgery.

"medical care costs for patients who were readmitted to the hospital because of a complication averaged $65,031, compared with $27,125 for those who didn't have to be rehospitalized (based on analysis of insurance claims for 2001-2002)"

William Encinosa, senior economist at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, August 2007
There are complications which can occur with any type of surgery and others which are unique to specific surgery types.
Its very important you know what these are before you have your procedure.
Discover them all in this book.




11 peri-operative complications (ocurring during surgery or up to a week after) - if you remember, Important Fact 1 was:


"The More You Know About What to Expect With Any Surgery and Recovery Process, The Better Your Prognosis (Expected Outcome)"

Knowing about things like these complications is exactly what I was talking about. The more you understand the better you heal, its research-verified-fact. (Page 25)


3 complications that can occur even months after surgery - some complications do not even appear until 6 months after surgery. You can reduce the chances of them occuring if you know what they are and how your actions can prevent or accelerate them. (Page 27)

10 long term-risks - there are some risks that will not show any signs until considerable time after surgery so its best to be aware of them now because some of them are specific to the type of surgery you had (page 29)



Important Fact #4:
"The Most Common Long-Term Risk of All Weight Loss Surgeries is...
The most common long-term risk of all weight loss surgery types is a Ventral Hernia (a type of abdominal hernia).

"Abdominal hernia had been the most common complication requiring follow-up surgery"

David Anaise MD,
Danaise.com
This is where the stomach wall is weak so that portions of the abdominal contents push through the abdominal wall and into the fatty tissue on the front of the stomach.
When you develop this hernia, it looks much like a mound or lump that protrudes from the abdomen when you tense your stomach muscles.
But the good news is you can reduce the risk of a ventral hernia from 28% to 2% simply by changing which surgery you get.
In this book, you discover which type of weight loss surgery has the lowest risk of ventral hernia.


You can see the information you find in Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ is very focussed and extremely relevent to you.



Because we are not interested in "selling" you on the idea of surgery, it allows us to be very matter-of-fact about the information we share.




Stand-Out Feature #4:
"The Information in Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ is 100% Unbiased"
REALLY.. 100% UNBIASED!
We don't "talk-up" the effects of weight loss surgery, because we have nothing to gain from that.
And we don't "down-play" the drawbacks because there is no benefit to us from that either.
Your decision, whether it is to have surgery or not, makes zero difference to our bottom-line...
In other words, we're not trying to convince you to have surgery and we're not trying to convince you not to have surgery.
Why?
Because we are not a surgeon nor a hospital looking for customers.
And that is what really makes us different from every other information source available to you.
With our information, you have a CLEAR, TRUE and BALANCED view of every critical aspect of weight loss surgery.
WARNING: Be very suspicious of any information you get from any company or organization that makes money if you HAVE surgery.
Because the information they give you is actually part of their marketing process and its sole purpose is to turn you into their patient-slash-customer.


So far, you have only heard what's on the first 29 page!!
So..
Ok, Let's Speed This Up...
At this rate, I will never finish telling you what you're about to discover as you go through the pages of your copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™.
You can see there is a lot so let's stick to the highlights from here.

6 costs of surgery - the entire cost (including pre and post-op expenses) broken into its components. Includes estimated total cost in US$ (Page 31).

Understand the procedure of surgery-day so well, you could advise the pre-op nurses if they forget what to do.

Hear when to arrive at the hospital, what to bring & who can come with you (Page 43)



Important Fact #5:
"Heightened Anxiety, Which Adversely Effects Outcome, Is Worst During..."
During Pre-op: when the medical staff are preparing you for surgery, your anxiety level is at it's highest.
There are more than 15 pre-op procedures that involve you!
It is a flurry of activity with flashing lights and several different medical staff visiting you for different reasons during your countdown to surgery.
You will likely have more than one staff attending you at the same time but for different reasons.
If you can imagine, it can be an angst-ridden whirlwind if you don't know what to expect and unfortunately, heightened anxiety increases the chances of complications.

"... surgical procedures can produce anxiety in patients and affect their postoperative recoveries and risks for physiological complications.
Reduction of patients, pre-operative anxiety can decrease their postoperative pain, vomiting, surgical complications, and recovery times."

AORN Journal,  April 1996
by Penny Augustin,  Anthony A. Hains


The good news is you discover, in precise detail, exactly what to expect during pre-op in your copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™.

Understand what the LEGAL definition of 'Fat-Free' and 'Low-Fat'





Important Fact #7:
"Foods Labeled As 'Light' Can Actually Have A Very High Fat Content"
It's true, the only legal requirement of a food labeled as 'Lite' is that it have less fat than the regular version!
So its really just a marketing trick to catch those consumers that don't eat the regular version of the product, because they think it contains too much fat.

For example, KRAFT Mayo Light Mayonnaise, is actually 32.7% fat!

"OK, Let's Wrap This Up.."
I'm sure by now, you're interested to hear the bottom line..
--> "What's it going to cost to get my own copy of
Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™?" <--
I'll start by telling you what I personally paid the put this book together..
"The Price I Paid To Create
Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ Was.."
A Large Portion of My Savings, In Fact..
You remember I hired a medical doctor to research and write this book. Earlier, on this page I said it cost at least $3500... well that was a major undervaluation.
Do you want to hear what I really paid?
Ok (gulp)..
"$10,000.00 (Ten Thousand Dollars)"
I swear-to-God that is not a typo nor a lie, I really paid $10,000 and if you want to tell me I'm crazy, you'll have to go to the end of the line.
Want proof?: This is a summary of the Paypal payments I made to my doctor-writer, I've obscured the business name for their privacy.

CLICK TO ENLARGE
It seems a crazy amount to spend but I'd researched enough to see weight loss surgery can leave your body in ruins, leave you in unmanageable debt or potentially kill you...... that is, IF you don't know what you're doing. Doesn't sound as crazy now does it.
In fact, these are the risks you run if you don't go into weight loss surgery knowing EVERYTHING (I'm getting to the price soon)...
"The Potential Cost Of You NOT Discovering The Information In Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ Is... "
A lot of things can and do go wrong with weight loss surgery if you don't understand what to expect and how to choose.
WLS is not an easy ride, here are some of the consequences of uninformed and therefore poorly made decisions:


Extra cost and pain from complications because you chose a surgery type which typically which has a higher complication rate


We tell you which have the lowest and highest rate of complications.




Extra cost and pain from complications because you chose a surgeon with inadequate experience


We tell you the proven 'magic' number of surgeries your surgeon should have performed




Weight regain after WLS because you didn't have & follow exercise and diet plans after surgery (up to 20% of WLS patients regain or don't lose weight: Ana Guijarro et al, Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol )


We provide you with eating plans for weeks 1-2, another for weeks 3-8 and then another to last for the rest of your life.


We also provide you with training advice and a workout log to keep track of your necessary strength training.




Death because you weren't ready or unsuitable for surgery (6% die in first 5 years following WLS:


Dr. Lewis H. Kuller, M.D, Journal Archives of Surgery)


We give you a 12-question test to determine your suitability because an expensive, dangerous surgery is crazy if you are not a suitable candidate.


We give you another 12-question test to determine if the timing is right in your life because the wrong timing can leave your staggering under the stress of your new battle, ruin relationships and lead to WLS failure or even death

We give you a 9-question test to determine your level of commitment because if you are not commited or your emotional state is not ready it could spell disaster


 



So the small price of $97.00 $67 you pay (while this $30-off sale lasts) is tiny when compared to the huge cost of making your WLS decision in the absence of complete and unbiased facts like those found in this book.
You could try to find the necessary facts yourself but..
"The Cost Of Finding The Information Inside Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ Yourself Is..."
We've already seen in this letter that getting unbiased, expert information from anyone involved in the weight loss surgery industry is impossible because everyone in the industry wants you to HAVE the surgery, that is, they want your money.
Memorize this tip..



Important Tip #2:
"NEVER Do This..."
To get even half the information contained in Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™, it would take at least a private 3-hour consultation with a weight loss surgery doctor.
But NOT a free consultation.
NEVER-EVER base your decision about weight loss surgery on the information you got in a free consultation, because a free consultation is really only a sales presentation in disguise.





"After weeks of research, I discovered the only fail-safe way to get at the facts, that no one in the weight loss surgery industry wants you to know, is to PAY for them."
It cost me $10,000! But I got a comprehensive, no-stone-left-unturned guide written especially for anyone considering weight loss surgery.
You could do it a lot more cheaply by having a paid 3-hour consultation with a weight loss surgery doctor. After 3-hours you would still have far less information than you get in Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ but let's use 3-hours as an example ...
Let's calculate the cost of a PAID 3-hour consultation:



The median salary for a bariatric surgeon is about $300,000 (Brad Vaudrey M.B.A., et al, Group Practice Journal)


The average doctor works about 53 hours per week (Physician Billing & Reimbursement,
E-News)

So a bariatric surgeons time is worth about $120.00/hour


Therefore, the cost to you for a 3-hour consultation with a bariatric surgeon would be $360.00, & you'd still have less info than you get in our book, Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™
But right here, today, you can get much more information than a 3-hour consultation for only $97.00 $67, that's like paying a weight loss surgeon less than $23/hour and getting 5 times more information.
This is how sure I am you're going to be thrilled with your copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™...
"If You Don't Like Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™, For Any Reason (You Don't Need To Tell Me), Let Me Know Me Within 8-Weeks & You Get 100% Of Your Money Refunded Back, No Question Asked...
And You Get to Keep Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ Plus the Bonuses, FREE!"
(I Tell You About The Bonuses Soon)
I 100% guarantee, if you discover all the information in Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™, and complete all the self-assessment tests honestly, you will have everything you need to make EVERY important weight loss surgery decision that lay ahead of you, in the shortest amount of time, with the least expense and minimum hassle.
I very confidently believe the above statement is true and that's why I guarantee it!.
But realistically, that's a not a guarantee you can get-your-hands-around because how can you measure it?
You see, we both know no matter how much I talk about Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ there is no way you can ever be 100% sure if it's any good, unless you see it & try it for yourself..
....and I completely understand that.
So I just want to get a copy in your hands with the minimum of risk to you, so you can see for yourself what it is, and make your own decisions.
So don't decide now if it's a book you want to read, just get a copy, look through it (doesn't take long), take the self-assessment tests, give it what you think is a fair try-out.
If, at any time within the first 8-weeks you are not satisfied for any reason, let me know (I give you my email address) and I refund 100% of your money ASAP, no questions asked... and you KEEP Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ and BONUSES!
Most other books and guides sold over the Internet come with either only a 30-day guarantee or no guarantee at all and then you have to go to the hassle of sending it back for a refund and waiting weeks for it to process.
I receive very few refund requests but when I do my support team process 98% of them within 48 hours, most within the first 24 hours.
From one life-time-weight-struggler to another, this is the fairest, most-honest arrangement I can think of.
In fact, most people I know, including my mother, think I'm taking the idea of generosity and over-delivering too far.
But I genuinely want to over-deliver to you and give you more, more, more because I believe it's about time someone stood up for us, the forgotten minority, and did something to make things better .
So I put my mind to it and this is what else I came up with to make the offer even better for you (although I can't keep it going for too much longer because I simply can't afford it)...

"Understand the Language of Weight Loss Surgery"
Weight Loss Surgery is a complex procedure requiring highly educated professionals...
...and they use many unique and seldom heard terms that are simply not understood by people outside of the industry.
Confronted with these terms in a consultation, it can lead you to become intimidated to the point where...
...you don't 'really' understand what the doctor is talking about but afraid to say so!
Trust me... I've been there.
And you don't want to look stupid by stopping the conversation every 5 minutes to ask questions like "... ah, um, what's a


Jejunum?"


"Now you don't have to worry because the 100 most often used but rarely understood terms are included in your own easy to understand Weight Loss Surgery Glossary™."

If you still planning on doing the research yourself, consider this...
"Remember, Your Weight Loss Surgery Decision Requires More Research Than..."
Your weight loss surgery decision is a BIG decision in so many different ways:

Huge financial commitment
Possibility of fantastic health
New world of social opportunities
Risk of severe complications
Risk of death

If you are considering weight loss surgery, then don't waste weeks or months of your precious time getting a little bit of info from here and another little bit from there, without ever truly 'seeing' the full picture.


"You really could be an expert on weight loss surgery, with all your questions answered before the end of today, if you act now."


Each day you DON'T make a decision about weight loss surgery, is another day of your life that could have been spent working toward your goals...

"The Bottom Line Is This..."
The decision of whether or not you should have a serious, life-threatening surgery is usually decided by a skilled surgeon with 10-years of training and maybe another 15-years of surgery experience.
However, weight loss surgery is a special case because it's an elective procedure...
...and therefore the responsibility this time is YOURS.
You don't have 10-years of medical training or 15-years surgery experience so its not a decision you make make in a single afternoon with a smattering of facts you found online.
It takes much more time, more research and more information than probably any other decision you will ever make for the rest of your life.
I personally paid a USA qualified MD $10,000.00 to research and write Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ because I know a decision like this cannot be based on the sales-spin coming out of hospital marketing departments NOR on the inconsistent info found online.
Now you can use your own copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™, which only costs $97.00 $67, to move forward in your life knowing the decision you make, what ever it is, is the BEST decision you could ever make for yourself because it is based on the complete MUST-KNOW and unbiased facts you need.

My closing thought..
Weight loss surgery is about a $30,000-$40,000 investment in the rest of your life.
Isn't it worth spending $97.00 $67 now to find out if its a good idea for you? That's a no-brainer really.
But even if you've already decided weight loss surgery is right for you, isn't it worth finding out exactly what to expect before you start the journey?
Its been proven that patient knowledge and education reduces anxiety, reduces complications and increases the chances of a good outcome.
Given that complications can push your WLS expense to $70,000, isn't it worth spending $97.00 $67 now to find out how to save yourself $30,000 correcting a complication and also a lot of pain? Again, it's a no-brainer.
Ordering and reading your own copy of Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS™ today is a good idea no matter how you look at it.
