teedsg 253 Posted March 8, 2016 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?! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

staceykb72 5 Posted March 9, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BriannaT 3 Posted March 13, 2016 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 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
