I am so glad I am not alone. I have a weigh in for my pre op meeting on Aug 11th, they told me make sure you lost at least close to that 15 lb mark, since the surgeon is a stickler. As we all know, if you lose 15 lbs 2 months before the weigh in you will regain it back.. So i have to figure out which crash diet to do to lose the last 6 or 7 lbs. I have had nothing but complications with getting approved for surgery(medically), extra testings and specialists... Never ending appts! So know you are not alone. Do you have your date yet? I hope it all works out for you guys!
