kpa201484@yahoo.com 0 Posted September 6, 2015 can a doctor deny you getting the surgery if you do not meet his pre surgery weight loss goal for you? does anyone know? My wife is trying to lose weight before hand, he wanted her to do 60lbs, but it's been tough and she has only lost a few pounds, and she just went to her 6th month appointment and was told they wanted her to try and lose as much weight as she can and come back in 30 days again. 9/25 she has another appointment. She is worried they may deny her surgery even though her insurance approved it with all the pre-surgery stuff she had to do. has anyone ever heard of a doctor denying a patient surgery because they couldnt lose enough pre-surgery weight???

Cali_Angel 82 Posted September 6, 2015 how is kaiser?? I go to the info session next week. Im also so cal kaiser.. Out of moreno valley but the meetings are in corona.. they give you everything you need to know and the classes are helpful so long as you really pay attention. its tedious but it works, just don't gain ANY weight while you are taking the class's that's the only real advice i can give you on that and make sure you get EVERYTHING done the way they tell you to and keep your binder in order so you are on top of everything. I have supposedly 18 lbs to go before i am given the green light by the surgeon but hes not really giving me any indication that he "feels" like i can have a surgery date, even though i am losing like 3lbs a week roughly and proving my dedication. it means nothing and people who are at an unhealthier level are getting to get their surgeries. its frustrating so DONT gain any weight in the classes lol.
