Purpose of nutritional visit?

So, I just found out that the nutritional visits are for us to lose weight. But, can you be denied if you don't lose weight or if you gain weight?

True Results won't take me until I have a 43 BMI?!

Today in my group session the Dr said that not losing weight can delay your surgery. They want to ensure you are committed to making changes before the surgery. She said "we're operating on your stomach, not your brain." I thought that was a very valid point.

The surgeon at my info session explained that the weight loss they need is in order to decrease fat around the liver which sits over the stomach. Too much fat around the liver and it's harder to do surgery
