@Tygrss888 yes all of them require you to lose about 10% of your starting weight. I am still going through my stuff. 15 lbs down!! A half way to my 10%. But it is about 3-4 "dr appointments" before the surgery . I say " dr appointments" because you'll be meeting with nutritionist, trainers, nurses and various other doctors i.e. gastroenterologist cardiologist etc. And it's not really partnership that requires you lose weight it's the surgeon.
