I found that the Adjustable Gastric Band is a very effective weight-loss tool. I have implanted hundreds of them. Jenniffer’s book has merit and is full of beneficial information.

Sip & Nibble™: How I Lost 120 Pounds
"Sip & Nibble™: How I Lost 120 Pounds reads with honest simplicity. It
tells the story of a strong and bold woman and her remarkable journey to
pursue her ultimate goal; to get rid of the crushing pounds of her suffocating
weight. Jenniffer recalls many of the diets that didn’t work, and the hopes and
disillusions of another yoyo-effect. However, her determination was stronger
than her fears! Jenniffer traveled to Europe by herself, taking a leap into the
unknown, hoping the net would appear, and it did. In Sweden she discovered
a new world and explored it. She visited cities like Amsterdam, toured historic
places and landmarks, and enjoyed the European fl avour, until she reached the
end of her quest at the clinic where the lap band operation would be performed.
There she met the doctors who would perform her life changing procedure. In
this book, page after page Jenniffer delivers her story with humor as well as
pain that grips you and pulls you into her life. Every person who has fought the
weight loss battle, with or without success, will learn a lot from this book and
recognize a part of their own story hidden within the pages. And who knows
maybe next time you will be a winner also."

Jenniffer Welliver was sitting in the living room feeding her 6 month old grandson his bottle when her son Joe entered the room, dropped the laundry basket at her feet and said, "Here, fold the laundry-that's what grandmas are for." And she thought...wait a minute, "that's NOT what grandmas are for and got the inspiration to write her books. Her son and grandkids live in Alaska and Jenniffer lives on Maui.

That's NOT What Grandpas Are For
