Try not to let it bum you out. Just think of the extra weight loss from the pre-op diet as a bonus for your dedication and hard work and allow yourself a cheat meal or item or a movie. But treat yourself somehow.

Praying for you.

Oh wow. There is probably a good reason on his part, but that doesn't make it feel any better when you've spent a lot of mental energy and effort gearing up for it.

Why would they postpone it by six weeks? That is a huge disappointment.

YEs terribly upset about it,

I rang them Tandy and they said that they had been told to cancel all operations for the next month and could not give a new operation date. Was looking forward to my operation on Monday

I just had a similar situation today. How are you coping with it? I feel devastated :( I'm a week away from surgery (February 21st), and I got a call today about my surgery getting postponed because I haven't proved I'm ready. I can't stop crying. This is so frustrating. I am fully committed and I'm by the end of my first week of liquid diet. It feels like now I'm not sure what's going to happen. I really want and need this surgery, and I'm doing all I can to prove it. I gained some weight over the past six months, and that's what the doctor is concerned about. With only a week from surgery, I feel very sad and frustrated. Thanks for your support, I really need it :(

They said you haven't proved your ready? Meaning you havent lost a certain amount of weight or didnt complete the insurance requirements?
My insurance requires a lot of hoops to jump through but im only required to lose 1 pound in 6 months - that one pound has to be in the 6th month if not before and maintained until the 6th month. Ive heard of insurance denials, but never one from a surgeon himself. Im interested to see why!

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