Pre-Op Weight

[motherboard 38]

How much weight do you need to loose before the surgery? At the first consultation my doctor told me I cannot gain anymore weight. He wants me to loose some.

I was wondering how much weight have you lost in the 6 month process? Since the first consultaton until the day of surgery.

Just about everyone has different requirements. I wasn't given a goal to lose prior to surgery. Many others have had to lose 10% of their weight.

I wasn't given a goal, and gained maybe 5-10 pounds, but lost all of it during my 7 day pre op diet.

none. i just have to follow a 2 week extra healthy diet before my surgery.

I'm not allowed to lose weight because the 6 months had to show that it did not work. Losing any more weight would put me below 40 BMI and I'd be disqualified.

I had to loose 15 pounds in the 6 month process... which wasn't so hard at all because of the strict diet I was placed on by my surgeon...
