Cant Loose Pre Op Weight...should I Worry?

[Mskandi80 7]

I have my last weigh in in 2 days and I have not lost the 30lbs my dr requested. Will I not be allowed to do the surgury? I REALLY want this and I feel like I have jumped through so many hoops for the last 6 months...just get more then about 10lbs off

I think it really depends on your doctor. I have read many posts and it seems really varied. Some people have said their doctor postponed and some people have said their doctor went ahead. Though I know it's difficult, try not to worry too much, as you can't really change what it is at this point. (((hug))) I will keep my fingers crossed for you

That is not a requirement with my doctor that I know of.

Me too! I have lost about 10lbs since I started weight management in May, although my surgeon didn't give me a specific amount to lose. Hopefully yours will be happy that the scale at least moved in the right direction. Good luck to you!

Every doctor is different how much have you lost. My doctor did not set a specific goal for me just to lose as much as I can. I only lost 20 lbs. I was on a liquid only diet. He wanted my liver to be as small as possible so he had more room to work.

Glad to hear you got your approval. I wish you all the best in the future to come. You can do this. Just stay focused on your goal, it will help keep you motivated.

congrats! my doctor wants you to but doesn't hold it against you if you don't - my husband had vs/ds 3 years ago and didn't lose anything before, that was pre-insurance waiting period. I'm down to my last month of the 6 month and hadn't lost anything - I weigh in this week and think I've lost about 4 pounds. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that not gaining will be good enough for the insurance.

I'm glad to hear everything worked out for you. I hope that between now and your surgery you will have more luck =) If you can lose some it will help decrease some of the surgical risk, you can do it!
