Anyone with similar stats??? I would love to make some friends Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I257 using the BariatricPal App Hey so I'll be 29 end of July. I'm 5'4" with a bmi of 65.2. I'm hoping to go in for surgery on or near my bday, I can't think of a better way to Celebrate 30 next yr than with a new me! I was wondering if you or anyone else was told they had to lose a certain % of weight or # of pounds before they would do surgery? Look forward to hearing more from you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffany Rae 40 Posted June 11, 2016 @Kyn13. I was not told that, but I'm also self pay. From what I understand your insurance company can dictate that as well. I do have to do a longer pre-op liquid diet because of my BMI though. That's the only real difference I've seen between my experience and other's with lower weights.

My mom had to do it for two weeks, she said the first 3 days are the worst. How long will you have to do the diet?
