"A comprehensive yet concise review of obesity surgery and endoscopy, this book provides adequate historical context along with a concise discussion of emerging endoscopic interventions. ... The intended audience is both trainee and advanced practitioners in the field of bariatrics, and the book serves its purpose well in that it is a thorough read for both surgeons and medical endoscopists involved with obesity management."
