coleenrenee 66 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I'm in Cali my highest weight was 525 Dr consult 442 current weight is 432 ... My Dr has not said that I need to lose anything the hospital has no weight limit ... This thread makes me nervous I hope I don't get to Dr consult before surgery which is the 14th and he says lose more weight.. I'm doing everything I can to lose another 20 lbs before the 23rd. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am already in the books... Can he change it? Edited April 1, 2015 by coleenrenee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted April 1, 2015 not said that I need to lose anything - hospital has no weight limit . @@coleenrenee your surgeon had all your info height, weight, age, etc hospital says no weight limit doc says you have been approved "sounds" like you should be good to go many people try (or have to) loose weight prior to surgery the more you loose now the less you have to loose PO makes silly sense of course loosing 5-10 lbs or more would be great surgery easier for doc (safer for you) since your liver has shrunk a bit there is a board on here for weight loss with specific amounts to loose 50+ lbs 100 lbs 200 lbs too find the "200 lb" board your question might be answered by people around your weight best of luck on your journey speedy recovery kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

measureofme 175 Posted April 2, 2015 Just an encouraging word... I was 529 when I started my pre-op and 504 the day of surgery. I'm two years out and just about -200lbs now. You got some great input from ProudGrammy. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
