Thanks, I can't wait for surgery, my doc is taking two weeks off in May that's why so long, I was hoping for the first week but I've been waiting 8 months so I'll manage. I don't think your weight fluctuating is terrible as long as it's not a steady increase. I found out about a month and a half ago that because I have sleep apnea my BMI could go as low as 35 and I'd still get approved. I agree with you that hearing from the doc "don't lose any weight" gets in your head...almost like a free pass to continue with what brought you to them in the first place. Good luck to you, the six months really does fly by.

I was told the same thing about gaining weight when I started. My BMI was 40.5 and I was told don't go below 40. Between that and quitting smoking I put on 17 lbs. My surgery was approved by insurance in 6 days. My date is May 21st. I've lost 10 lbs since surgery was approved, things are getting real now. I plan to lose another 10 before surgery.
May Sleevers...where are you?
