What if i dont lose my 10%!

[SabrinaM 20]

Tonight is my 9th options class. And I have only lost 8 pounds. Hopefully tonight's weigh in I've lost more well see. Wish me luck I'm scared that I won't lose my 10% and they might deny me anybody else have this problem???

I am having a big issue with this...I need to lose 15 pounds before I can see the surgeons...I have struggled to lose 8 and I've been trying since November....UGH! As soon as the 15 is gone, my surgery can be scheduled. Good luck!!!

Good luck to you to. Did you already finish your classes?

They are gonna do it; my friend told her doctor she wasn't gonna lose the weight he wanted her to lose before surgery and he said ok

I did...I've met with the nutritionist, the psychologist, attended the 5 behavior classes, the nurse 3 times and all I need to do is lose the remaining weight and then I can meet the surgeons and have the blood work and the swallow study done, oh, and the physical by my primary. I've already met my insurance requirement...no pre-op liquid diet required so I can't count on that for a loss.

Thanks for your help guys!!! I weighed in tonight and lost another 3 pounds. Hopefully I can keep it up 3 more classes to go. Is your final weigh in at your 12th class or when you see the surgeon?

Good Luck! I am sure you can do it. My surgeon is requiring a 5 lb loss (Yeah I dunno either) but I was told when I start my 10 day pre surgery non liquid, sometimes liquid, kinda liquid diet, that I would be weighed before and on the last day and if I don't loose, that my surgery would be cancelled.

That's what I was told if we don't lose the 10% our surgery can be denied. But hello that's why we're there we can't lose weight! I hope all goes well and you lose your 5 lbs

Try doing the liquid diet anyway. I've lost 7lbs in a week on it. High Protein, very low carb and fat, 800 calories a day.

I understand your frustration! I went through the entire six-month program and my surgeon submitted to Kaiser and Kaiser denied the surgery contingent upon me losing 2% of my body weight; which is 12 pounds. I'm exercising three times a week and logging my food into My Fitness Pal every day (for 60 days straight so far). I've lost 8 pounds! That includes not losing at all, losing .02 for two weeks in a row, losing 4.4 last week, and regaining 3.4 this week!

It's very frustrating, but when I do the math, it equals out to about one pound a week, and if I keep going like that I'll lose the 12 pounds plus I want to lose a few more for good measure to take care of any discrepancies between my scale and the doctor's office scale. I figure at this rate, I'll be done in about 10 more weeks. Kaiser gave me 6 months to lose it.

Once I lose the weight, my surgeon will re-submit my papers and I pray Kaiser will approve the surgery. I'm getting the gastric sleeve.

All the best to you.
