RT Book, Section A1 Silverman, Robert K. SR Print(0) ID 1139739943 T1 Dedication and Acknowledgments T2 Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care YR 2017 FD 2017 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780071843515 LK obgyn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1139739943 RD 2024/04/19 AB No project of this magnitude could be developed without the help of many individuals. From Alyssa Fried at McGraw-Hill to my administrative assistants, Christine Rydelek and Sunny Falcone, my appreciation has no bounds. My wife, Carol, has endured my endless conversations on obesity and its impact on the health care system. My sons, Ben and Andrew, have seen their father obsessed with a topic that at times must have seemed overwhelming. I hope this book will serve as a resource for providers in all areas of medicine and allow them to gain understanding of the complexity of the issues and the need for expenditures of significant resources in the future.
