How Much Weight Did You Lose Before Surgery?



Recommended Posts

From my first appointment at the weight management department, until my last weigh in at the hospital just before surgery, I lost 43 pounds. How about you?

15 so far. I have about 2 1/2 months to go before surgery. Hope to lose 25+ by surgery date.

I started the process at 39.9 BMI so I had to maintain it, which sounds ridiculous and honestly not much work. That said, between the time that they submitted paperwork and the surgery (2-3 weeks; it was a quick turnaround) I lost at least 4 pounds, and maybe more like 10. I don't know because they didn't weigh me the morning of. At the last appointment a few days before I'd lost 4 pounds, but I was on a liquid diet the last 5 days so it was probably more than that.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
