OMG!! I went for one of my last pre op visits with my surgeon and when they weighted me, I gained 6 pounds!!! I was doing so well up until the beginning of this month. I went into a bit of a blue funk and I sometime emotionally eat and hence the weight gain. I'm sooo scared my insurance will deny me because it looks like I didn't follow thru with the diet! I can keep myself in the butt!!! OAN: I have a surgery date of September 19th! I can't really be excited because of this weight gain issue! Please pray for me that all goes well...

Me too! I really hope we are still in the clear. I don't have a date yet, but my six month ends November.

My last weigh in was during my time of the month and I had gained 5 lbs. I could have died. Hopefully our next weigh in is better.

Good luck.

Yeah I hope so! I'll keep everyone posted...good luck to you too! Thanks natashad

I just had my final weigh in. During the entire 6 months, I only lost a total of 14 pounds. At my 4th visit I had gained 2 #'s back and what my physician told me was that it was good because that will show the insurance company one of the main reasons I can't do this without the sleeve...duh because I fail at diets!!!

They're submitting my paperwork for approval next week! Good luck to you all.

Thanks heller2u! That make sense. My doctor made me feel as if because I gained they might not approve...but if I could drop a lot of weight u wouldn't be here...lol! I'm just praying all goes well!

I did the 6 months diet and lost only 10 pounds. The Dr told me that if you fail the 6 month diet will not affect you because that what they are going to show insurance company that we failed doing the diet. I am rigth now on the pre op liquid diet. My surgery date is 9/7. Wish you guys luck!

Thanks vdiaz3072! Good luck with the liquid diet and surgery! It makes a lot if sense to me if a slip a bit but ugghhhh! He just made me feel a bit bad....oh well we will see what they say.

I also gained about 5 lbs before my surgery! I think I had the "last meal syndrome" and felt like I had to eat everything I wanted because I wasn't going to be able to eat it again! I was still approved for my surgery! I had it on Aug 24th so I am still recovering, and on my full liquid stage. Everyone says you will be able to eat your favorite foods again, so just try your hardest to stick to your diet if your doctor put you on one(my doc did not require me to lose any weight pre op, luckily). Good luck! It will come quick!
