At 278 pounds, Susan Maria Leach couldn't lie in bed without gasping for air, wasn't able to fit into a restaurant booth, and could barely buckle the belt in an airplane seat. It would have been easier to allow life to pass her by than to continue fighting her weight problem, but she made the difficult decision to take back control. In 2001, Susan underwent gastric bypass surgery and started on a journey that would not only cut her body weight in half but would change her life.
Before & After is both a memoir and a cookbook—an intimate account of Leach's own transformation as well as a guide for those who have undergone or are considering the procedure. As Leach has learned in the six years since her operation, weight-loss surgery is not an event with a finish line or a goal weight—it is the beginning of a new way of life.
This edition of Before & After has been updated with all that Leach has learned on her post-op journey. It includes a foreword by Leach's surgeon, advice from a nutritionist, answers to more frequently asked questions about weight-loss surgery, a whole chapter on meal plans for different post-operative stages, suggested menus for early food stages, additional questions and answers affecting longer-term post-ops, and new information about products that have entered the marketplace.
Most notably, this edition showcases a wealth of new recipes that utilize the latest in light and healthy ingredients for smart and savory results, including everything from Asian Meatballs with Peanut Sauce and Turkey Tenderloin with Apple Chipotle Chutney to sugar-free Pistachio Gelato and Lemon Almond Sponge Cake. Each recipe makes about four servings, but includes a measured serving for WLS people along with a calorie/carb/fat/protein count. Leach has recipes for every step of the way, from tastes-like-the-real-thing milk shakes for those first post-op days to an entire Thanksgiving menu.
Before & After is a journal of Leach's own inspirational story, where she shares her ups and downs, her tips and techniques, but mostly it's a book of hope for anyone who has a serious weight problem.

New technologies and social networks have dramatically changed the way we communicate. But with this sweeping change, some things remain the same. First and foremost, treat your customers right.
In BEAUTY and the BUSINESS, authors Gregory Buford, MD and Steven House present a framework for the highly successful profitable business. They incorporate long standing essentials to customer satisfaction and connect them through the technologies and culture of today’s buyers who use the internet and social networking to make their purchasing decisions.
Their solid recommendations provide insights on how to guide a potential customer through this process while developing trust along the way. And they do so at a pace that makes sense for the critical decisions being made by this aesthetic client. You may only have a nanosecond to prevent someone from clicking through your website or hanging up the phone and so you must have something that interests them.
Finding and keeping customers has become a critical element to survival but authors Buford and House present the good news that the beauty industry is actually positioned for strong growth based on predictable generational spending habits of the baby boomers. They make a strong case for the need to be competitive and aware of technology’s ability to shift markets away if you are not executing on client retention strategies, high quality referrals, and state of the art marketing. BEAUTY and The BUSINESS teaches you to analyze the market, engage it, draw feedback from it, and adapt at a rate of change at least as fast as the market itself is evolving.
As a clinician, practitioner, or owner this book should become part of your strategic plan. The business of beauty is by its’ very nature a business of choice. The choice to make changes and evolve your look for a variety of reasons drives customers toward those whom they can trust. BEAUTY and the BUSINESS will show you how to keep business growing in a continuously sustainable profitable manner, how to beat your competition, and how to actually have fun along the way.
