Weight gain pre-op

[betterme38 275]

Did anyone gain on there last month of the pre-op diet? I have 5lbs to lose by my scale before Wednesday! I hate my scales I never know what I really weigh.

Anyway if you gained did you not get approved at 1st or what happened? Just trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. Thank you

@@betterme38 Good luck tomorrow! It would be unusual to actually gain on your pre-op diet but retaining fluids, etc. could cause it to happen.

Are you referring to gaining during your medically supervised period or while on the 2 week liver shrink pre-op diet?

I was told by one of the nurses at my surgeon's office that if during the medically supervised period, you have a gain from one month to the next, that it resets your medically supervised period back to the beginning. But that is dependent on your particular insurance requirements and any specific requirements of your surgeon's office and you may not be in the same situation.

Since you have your weigh in tomorrow, I would just suggest drinking as much Water as possible between now and then to flush out any excess Fluid you might be retaining.

My doctor requires a break lose 25 pounds before surgery if you don't do it he won't do the surgery. But every doctor is different

Good luck on your journey♡
