Yes. Some insurances require 6 months of weigh ins. Some doctors require weight loss depending on how high the starting weight is.
Mine did not. And my pre-op diet was only required for 1 week. I did 2 hoping I would get in the week earlier, but alas I wasn't able to be bumped up. It's ok though. My system was totally ready when it came time for my VSG.

I agree - my nutritionist told me that the pre-op was to shrink the liver and get used to eating the right foods, and not to worry about weight loss. I did lose 23 pounds in 3 weeks though!
