Hi I'm new here, I love this site its great! I'm planning on having the surgery in a few months, I'm having to do the 6 month dietary program that my insurance requires me to do. I have BC/BS of AL. I wanted to know if there is a certain amount of weight I need to loose in this 6 month peroid? I havent lost any. I may have put on a pound or 2 nonod.gif

It depends on the doctor. My doctor told me I had to loose 50 pounds until they would consider giving me surgery. I ended up loosing almost 30 and I have a surgery date now. Some just want to see that you can do it ...because of what the follow up entails. But others on here don't have to loose anything! I've heard of ppl having to loose a lot, a little (like 5 pounds) or none at all! So you will have to ask your doc and find out!
