Al Roker’s aha! moment came a decade ago. He was closing in on 350 pounds when he promised his dying father that he wasn’t going to keep living as he was. That led to his decision for a stomach bypass - and his life-changing drop to 190. But 50 of those pounds gradually crept back until he finally devised a plan, stuck to it, and got his life back. Never Going Back is Roker’s inspiring, candid, and often hilarious story of self-discovery, revealing a (now slimmer) side of his life that no one knows.

Great Information on the Gastric Sleeve
Would you listen to The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve again? Why?
Absolutely! This book is packed in with great information on the Gastric Sleeve. For me, it has given me advanced knowledge of the physical and the emotional side of having this procedure done as well as explaining everything that I will encounter as I go through the process.
What did you like best about this story?
I really like the four or five personal stories from actual patients. I am glad that they included the good and the bad in this book.
What about Pam Dougherty’s performance did you like?
Very soothing speaker. I listened to this mainly while driving and I could understand her very well.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Everything you EVER wanted to know and MORE on the Sleeve!
Any additional comments?
The only time I got bogged down in the book was in a small part when it got really technical on the topics of measuring food and the exercises. It was still informative but there isn't really anyway to get around the technical part. Appreciated the audible version because I might have skipped it if I had read it in the physical book.
