Help! If I loose 8 more lbs on the pre-op diet I will be below a 30 BMI. Can I still have the surgery?

I started at a 32.2 BMI. I'm lost 6 lbs on the pre-op diet and am now at 31.3. If I loose 7 more lbs, I will be at 30. Do you think they will still do the surgery which is scheduled for 9/26/13, this Thursday?

Your insurance have already approved the surgery you have a date, there's no going back. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you pull one of my moves and can't help but to worry, call the bariatric center and see what they say. Good luck to you

If you have co morbidities you can have a lower BMI, my guess is that you do otherwise your insurance wouldn't have approved it.

If you were approved aleady, I see no reason why they would reject. Insurance companies understand that surgeons will put patients on pre-op diets to aide with the surgery.

I wouldn't be concerned.
