Determined to Live: How I Endured 48 Surgeries Due to Gastric Bypass - Paperback

by Lynette R. Goode (Author)

The purpose of writing this book is to bring awareness to the epidemic of obesity. I do not want anyone to go though what I have endured, being obese a majority of my life. As a result of not knowing proper nutrition growing up and into my late teenage years, I was faced with making the life-changing decision to have gastric bypass surgery, because traditional weight-loss methods such as strict dieting and exercise did not work for me.
