Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted December 3, 2015 I didn't, but I wasn't supposed to gain either. This is something your surgeon has to decide. The more you weigh, the higher the risk of surgery. Some surgeon's have a maximum weight that they feel comfortable with. Some facilities have a maximum weight for their equipment. I am sure there are many variables that go into your surgeon's decision on whether or not to require weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
