Weight Gain Before Surgery

I am a newbie here, lots of great info thanks.

I have cigna, I started my 6 months of nutrition counsel teo months a go, my BMI was about 37-38 in the two months I put on about ten lbs, the nutritionist says that it won't bear well if I gain weight during the six months of eval. I don't want to disqualify myself.

I do have co morbidities, HBP.

Will the small weight gain make me lose my insurance coverage?

Thanks for the help

I don't know about your insurance coverage.

My surgeon told me that if I gained even one pound from the time of my very first visit with him that he would NOT do the surgery. He said that if I couldn't control myself before being banded, there would be no way he'd feel comfortable "ethically and morally" doing the surgery on me. YMMV.
