Haven't lost a lot of weight Pre-Op? Anyone else in the same boat?



Recommended Posts

How much has everyone lost in their Pre-Op visits? My doctor didn't give me a specific amount that I needed to lose for surgery to occur. Just that I needed to try and lose weight.

I'm about 5'8 and my starting weight was 330 pounds, but I lost about 15 pounds before my visits started.

My weight at my visits has been the following:

Visit 1: 314.6

Visit 2: 309.4

Visit 3: 308.4

Visit 4: 307.2

Visit 5: 301.3

Visit 6 is this week.

I'm just super paranoid that I haven't lost enough weight compared to others. I haven't gained at all - but still I'm just kinda hoping that I get approved without any issues.

As long as you're moving down or staying the same you're okay

That's the one thing that gets us...comparing ourselves to others. Remember everyone loses weight at a different pace. As stated above as long as you're losing you're good! Especially if he didn't give you a specific amount. Don't sweat it! You'll be fine! Best of luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
