im wondering if i should be concened because my doctor didnt put me on a pre-op diet. i did however had to loose 5% of my weight before insurance would approve my surgery. im wondering if this will count? i have talked to some people that say u need to lose some weight so there is room inside for the band, and to make sure ur liver isnt inflamed. i guess im lucky with the no diet thing but did u have to lose any weight proir to scheduling your surgery?
