Hey guys, so I'm new! I'm kayla and I'll be 29 in July. So June is my final month with my PCP for the 6 months of guided weight loss before insurance will let me see the surgeon. My highest weight has been 380, the lowest I was able to get was 363. Which was for my 5th month visit. At the same time I was put on non weight bearing status for 2 stress fractures in my left foot and was put in a boot. So after not being able to walk for 6 wks I've gained 10lbs back. I have 20 days till my last app with my PCP,I'm becoming increasingly anxious wondering if the Dr will still do the surgery. I know its not going to do me any good to worry but I still can't keep from it. I wasn't told I had to lose a certain percent or set number of pounds. Ive included a pic of the list of requirements and things to do in order to qualify for the surgery. Thanks for letting me vent :) I look forward to getting to know y'all !

@@Kyn13 It will most likely depend on your Surgeon. At higher BMIs, they often want a weight loss prior to surgery so there are less risks. You may have a pre-op diet to reduce the size of your liver and you will certainly lose weight then. The fact that you lost a good amount during your supervised program is great!! Don't stress - whatever happens will be for the best. Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
