I'm sorry this is happening. Surgical teams want to see progress for at least two reasons: 1. It demonstrates you're committed; 2. It's easier for them to operate on you.

Pardon the pun, but it's gut-check time. Please consider why you gained 10 pounds during this time. Really identify what the cause is & work to eliminate it. Is it possible there's a bit of self sabotage going on? Many of us have experienced that. Good luck to you. You are not alone.

I gained almost 2 pounds next to my last appointment. It didn't effect my approval. I just made sure it was off and maybe a little extra before my next appointment

I gained almost 20lbs during the 6 mo of insurance required weigh-ins. It wasn’t intentional but the weight gain took me from 38-40 BMI and insurance approved a sleeve.

My insurance won't approve it if I am over even half a pound from my initial weight at my first appt.

I think you need to sit down and have a word with your self to find out why your sabotaging your self. " If I was able to do it on my own I wouldn't need surgery" people say. But the truth is. We have to take responsibility and stick to this to get what we want.

If you need help to lose we are here. But tell us honestly what you are eating? You don't want to lose out on this opportunity as I have seen people rejected for 1lb over nevermind 10. That's a real obvious sign of lack of commitment and you will need it after surgery.
