Gaining weight pre-op?



Recommended Posts

I have surgery one week from today, and I kind of went crazy this weekend..not only because of the holiday, but I just wanted to get in some of my faves before surgery. I know I can drop some lbs before the surgery, but am afraid I won't get down to what they got me at my last weigh in. Anyone go through this? I don't have liquid diet until next weekend, and I'm afraid they would postpone my surgery or something. I feel so stupid, because this means so much to me.

Hi,

I can understand how you are feeling. Please first don't call yourself "stupid" Of course this means a lot to you and you would not be having surgery if you were able to control your eating -- so that fact that you over ate is a symptom of you disease -- which is why you are getting the sleeve in the first place -- right?

I believe the Insurance companies have different standards for weight game before surgery but I have heard it is 6 pounds or over -- so really, it sounds like you are OK. You are fantastic -- you are walking toward a new life.

Thank you Janushka. I am hoping I can get these added lbs off before next week, which I think I can..just disappointed in myself for doing this. I would hope my program that I am going through wouldn't postpone it (not the hospital).

Thank you for your kind words.
