I have been on the pre-op diet for 3 weeks and only lost 10 lbs is this normal or should I be losing more? My advocate told me I needed to lose 10 lbs prior surgery or the Dr. want do the surgery and I have done that but I was hoping for more. I am on the border and hoping I can go down more and not up, which would delay my surgery.

Hi, i just had my banding done sat Feb 4, 2012 and i wasn't given a specific number to lose. However since you lost the required amount just maintain that what you have lost.

Thanks, beach Just concerned since I'm borderline. Trying to maintain.
