Hello I am waiting for my surgical consult Aug 24. I have a BMI of 36.5 but have sleep apnea co morbidity. My insurance has approved the surgery ( yeah!!! ) . I am in the very ironic dilemma for the first time in my adult life of trying NOT to loose weight before I have my "official " weigh in. This is a very strange place to be, as I find that having made my decision I want to move on th practicing healthy habits etc. I have always liked healthy food, and am finding myself eating more junk to not loose. I had had a second sleep study and diagnosed with restless leg syndrome and with the medication and new CPAP settings I have energy and am more active. I actually did loose weight the first 2 weeks without any effort, just more activity. So I started to eat more. Weird. Anyone else in this place?

To be truthful, I am doing the same bc my first surgeon meeting is next week. Ins will only approve if I need to lose 100+ so I can't go below 230! Are we crazy?!

Not crazy, Just determined.

if your insurance has already approved you, your good to go. Go ahead and lose. If it makes you feel better throw on some ankle weights when you go for your weigh in.

I do not think so. My surgeon appointment is next Wednesday.They told me to make sure that my bmi do not drop under 40. Well, I am very determined to lose this weight.

I didn't really think about it but before I went to my consult I went to the gym and drank 2 liters of water. Then on the way there I got a large coffee. Clearly that affected my weight in!

Carry a reeeealy heavy purse! LOL
