I'm not sure. My friend's doc is making her do one and our BMI's are similar. That's one of the questions in asking at my visit this week. I'm nervous about weight gain so I'll be doing one to ensure that I don't gain a single pound. They will postpone my surgery if I do. I already bought my protein shakes. I'm ready to get it started.

My husband isn't supportive either. He wants me to lose the weight but non surgically. He really tried to be supportive but he can't get behind it. He went to the seminar, to my first appointment with surgeon, he asked questions, watch YouTube channels I suggested, ect. He's still not with it. I appreciate his efforts. I think there are much deeper issues than just the excess skin he's afraid of me having. I know, I know. I've explained to him a million times that I will have surgery to fix everything that starts hanging but he's still not ok with my decision. I was so excited when I got the call that I was approved and when I got a surgery date. It really sucked to not be able to share that excitement with him. I didn't even tell him the date until I could no longer keep it a secret for childcare reasons. I no longer care and I'm going forth with the surgery scheduled for 2/2. I let him and other members of my family talk me out of having the surgery once before and I'll be damned if I let that happen again. I could have gotten my life back a long time ago had I had this attitude of "screw you, this is what I need to do for me" before. Do what you feel is right for your body. I was really upset at first and I still wish that he would get behind me on this but I don't let it bother me like it used to. Good luck!

2/2 is my surgery date. I'm 27, 5' 4", and 262. I'm doing a self imposed preop diet as well since my surgeon doesn't require it but I won't start it until Thursday. My last preop appointment with the nurse practitioner is Wednesday. This is my last chance to ask all of my questions so I'm making a list now. Like you, I'm concerned about not being able to pick up my child. He's three and usually walks alone but he doesn't like walking outside when it's dark. I'm trying to break him of that now. Sometimes it's faster to swoop them up when they're moving slowly but I'll have to break myself of that. Congratulations and I'm excited for us all! This coming week can't go by fast enough. I'm ready. I just need to pack.

I'm scheduled for 2/2/16 also. So excited, I could die!
