About this ebook
"I am not trying to convince anyone to not have the surgery, rather, I want to bring light to experiences and lists of symptoms, possibilities of how to take care of ourselves, different points of view.... I want to create awareness regarding this subject. That if a person today decides to have bariatric surgery, she or he can already contemplate what her life can become in the long term."
"The Heaviest Surgery is a generous window that Mariana has opened into her life, providing us with the magnificent opportunity to learn in detail about the world of bariatric surgery, since she has the experience of living with two surgeries. This book is an act of vulnerability that will benefit everyone who for some reason is interested in learning more about bariatric surgery.
If you have been considering bariatric surgery, you need to read this book to make an informed decision. Unfortunately, there is not enough scientific information about the long-term consequences of these surgeries. Therefore, it is very possible that your doctor will not offer the information you will find here.
If you've already had bariatric surgery and have been struggling with post-op risks and side effects associated with it, The Heaviest Surgery will validate your experience and guide you as to the next steps you can take to compassionately take care of your health and feel better.
If you are the family member or the loved one of someone who is suffering from the aftermath of bariatric surgery or considering having it, this book will be an invaluable resource to support your loved one in his or her journey.
And if you are a healthcare professional, reading The Heaviest Surgery is a must to understand, from the experience of individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery, the harm caused by diet culture, weight stigma, and fatphobia."

Mariana den Hollander
Mariana den Hollander Miranda nació en San José, Costa Rica, y como ella misma se denomina, es un híbrido entre su tierra natal y Holanda. Estudió Artes Plásticas en la Academia Real de Bellas Artes de La Haya y desde su infancia ha vivido en diferentes países del mundo. Actualmente reside en Bélgica, donde se dedica al arte y el diseño textil como carrera de vida y a seguir escribiendo y compartiéndose como lo ha hecho siempre. El peso que más pesa es su primer libro, originalmente publicado en Barcelona en el 2007 con Aurea Editores, y es un testimonio escrito por una chica que le habla a otros jóvenes. Cuando escribió este libro, su meta siempre fue hacer sentir a otras personas que a pesar de nuestras inseguridades, podemos ser felices hoy. Aunque lo publicó por primera vez cuando aún no existía el movimiento del Body Positivism, su intención principal era transmitir a sus lectores que los pensamientos negativos y dolorosos sobre nosotros mismos los tenemos todos y que sí existe la posibilidad de disfrutar de tu vida hoy sin cambiar nada de ti mismo. Actualmente, está escribiendo dos libros más: La reina del rechazo, que ya está en proceso de edición y trata sobre el rechazo que ha sufrido, y además está escribiendo un tercer libro sobre las relaciones amorosas en su vida.
