Weigh in before surgery

[Noki124 36]

My surgery date is May 21st, I had my last weigh in May 6th and no longer need weigh ins. I was wondering if you get weighed one last time before surgery? I'm concerned about being disciplined from now until then, I need that accountability. My surgeon told me it's not necessary to see me again until surgery day.

• I was weighed at the hospital morning of surgery. I figured it was a way to see if I really followed the preop liquid diet! I was never weighed before any of my previous surgeries. Not sure of how many places do, but I would expect it, especially if it will help you stay accountable! Can't hurt! good luck.

Pre-op appt at hospital weighed me. That was 5 days before surgery.

I guess it depends where you're having surgery.

Try to stay as discipled as possible. I truly believe I had an easier time post op b/c of not introducing sugar and bad carbs into my diet. Others were crying how hungry they were and I thought it was nothing I couldn't handle.

Good Luck!

Yes, your last weight in should be right before the surgery. My surgery was on Friday and I have lost 9 pounds in 3 days, that's crazy.

You will be weighed the day you have surgery at the hospital...If it was me, I would take the next 2 weeks to eat healthy.....find out what healthy, low fat, Protein rich foods you like so it will be an easier transition for your after banding. Best Wishes

I was weighed immediately before I changed into a hospital gown. Good luck!! Make good food choices!!!

My last weigh in was a Friday at the surgeons office...surgery was early Monday morning....

Saturday I went out for my "Last Meal", a place I knew I would never visit ever again...a Chinese All You can eat Buffet.....

Sunday, I fasted all day with only Water, and went to the gym for a long hard workout.....

Monday morning my weight was less than it was Friday.....go figure.

That was over 2 years ago....I have since completed this weight loss journey, so a short time ago I confessed this to my surgeon....first he called me a few choice names, then laughed and shook his head....

But, if you do not loose the required weight as some Dr,'s demand, you can jeopardize your surgery date....I've heard stories from people getting postponed a few weeks.
