FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted May 2, 2012 My BMI was 55 at my first consult. I thought my Dr would make me do a 3 week liquid diet before surgery but I only had to do a 2 week... and I lost 22 lbs in those 2 weeks.... Maybe your Dr. does something similar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe your Dr. does something similar? my doc wants me to get to a 55 bmi before he'll even consider me for the surgery...i was at a 64 bmi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
