I would like to thank everyone who responded to my question about losing 20 lbs. I have already lost 11 lbs and I feel much better after reading everthing ya'll wrote. So I am hoping the surgery will take place 7-25-08 so please everyone just say a prayer for all of us that are fixing to have surgery. thanks

I was suppose to have surgery on 7-11-08 but because I did not lose 20 pounds the doctor got very upset and told me he would not do the surgery until I lose the 20 pounds. I have been waiting a long time for my insurance to cover this surgery and I was scared if I did lose weight they would not cover me so I was not strick about losing the weight. I have been working on losing the weight I have two weeks to do it. This has really upset me. I have about 180 lbs to lose. Was anyone required to lose weight before surgery.
