What Happens If I Gain Weight Between Now And...

What happens if I gain weight between now and the consult w/ the actual surgeon? Do they refuse the surgery?

I have already completed all of the psych, "last" weigh in, etc... for the insurance approval. Does that make sense? I guess I am just wondering if I even get weighed at the consultation? I've already met the requirements for surgery - just to clarify.

Thanks.

Yeah I got weighed in again at my consultation. And The nurse practitioner there told me to make sure I didn't gain any weight even though my monthly weigh ins were over because a patient gained 15 lbs prior to thief surgery and said doc and/or insurance made them restart the whole 6 month diet doc again!!! So be careful!

That was one of the things the doctor said, Do Not Gain Weight. Just use everything you have learned now.

Stay away from the crabs now and after the lapband it wont be so bad.

I get weighed everytime I see my doctors, even my family doctor. Remember its your weight gain and nobodys else. Get back on track and count carbs. SIP lots of water 1 hour before eating.
