My Bariatric Year is an insider's look at author Tim Hatch's weight-loss surgery. With entries dealing with tough topics like self-image and self-evaluation, this is a fascinating look at coping, reflection, and relearning the process of living.

Part Two begins a discussion about body parts, and as Tim says, "I'm gonna be as tactful as possible, but if the point of all this is to chronicle the things I'm going through, then it's going to have to veer away from polite dinner table conversation." Don't worry, he maintains his sense of humor and decorum with only a few poop jokes.
