I'm sure it depends on Dr as well.

I was 375 at 5'7" and was told by my physician my insurance would only allow surgery once I got under 55 bmi, at the above stated weight I was at 59 bmi. So yes being at a higher bmi above 55 increases fatality in this surgery. There are other factors such as age over 50, being male ( no, seriously ) and having other issues like heart disease, kidney issues etc

Good luck

Good luck

Water it up baby

I'm going to be on liquid diet during thanksgiving and post op for christmas. I have always enjoyed trial by fire, but this is serious.

I know your dr and I gonna tell on u!!!

I have been drinking a muscle milk in the morning, healthy choice soup and low fat yogurt for lunch, another soup for dinner with a pudding as a snack. I've lost 15 lbs in 23 days. I have to lose 30 before surgery, I have 60 days to lose the other 15 lbs

My dr said not to drink coffee because of dehydration but it curbs my apparite until lunch.

Just west of St Louis a small town called union.

My Dr told me to be eligible for surgery I would need to lose 30 lbs. I was thinking to myself, if I could lose weight I wouldn't need the surgery. But I am 21 days into my pre-op diet and have lost over 15 lbs. My wife who is also having the sleeve is in her clear liquid diet, I have decided to support her by limiting my diet to full liquid. This has helped, most days I have been able to keep my calorie count to under 1600. Wish me luck, we would like to get me scheduled for surgery by end of November. Wish me luck.

Eat more protein, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, soy beans, etc. Your hair needs protein to survive.
