Is it necessary to lose weight befor surgary? My doctor didn't tell me anything about that. I'm 95kg and 163 cm. I prefer to lose some weight befor surgery. I have decided to lose some but I can't control emotional eating. How and how much should I lose? Any advise?

I was 95 kg per 166 cm, I didn't have to go on a diet, but that's my experience, you have to follow the advice of your surgeon. What did he say?

It is always best to lose as much as you can. It makes your recovery much easier on you. Also, makes the surgery so much smoother for the surgeon. It shrinks your liver making it easier for the surgeon to work around.

Any weight you can lose will only benefit you!!

I lost almost 60lbs before my surgery and mine was successful and I have had no complications or troubles. I was able to go back to work in only 7 days and I feel great! My dr. said that he wished all of his paitents would follow his advice as I did! I also don't have very far to get to goal!! DOUBLE BONUS!!

Do what you can to get some weight off before surgery. It will make your life easier afterwards

Best of luck to you!
