Like many books in this category, it's written by an M. D. --however, Dr. Hamilton has struggled with her weight all her life and actually had gastric bypass herself 8 years ago. She discusses at great length why diets and exercise fail 95% of the public--especially those who have 50 pounds or more to lose--and why the risks of surgery may be considerably less than the risks to our health of being morbidly obese. An excellent book--expensive, but well worth reading (you might try your local library if money is tight!).
