How Much Weight Did You Lose Before Surgery?

From my first appointment at the weight management department, until my last weigh in at the hospital just before surgery, I lost 43 pounds. How about you?

27 lbs.

74 lbs

15 so far. I have about 2 1/2 months to go before surgery. Hope to lose 25+ by surgery date.

I started the process at 39.9 BMI so I had to maintain it, which sounds ridiculous and honestly not much work. That said, between the time that they submitted paperwork and the surgery (2-3 weeks; it was a quick turnaround) I lost at least 4 pounds, and maybe more like 10. I don't know because they didn't weigh me the morning of. At the last appointment a few days before I'd lost 4 pounds, but I was on a liquid diet the last 5 days so it was probably more than that.

30 lbs in 12 weeks.

Zero ...I had to maintain so I stayed qualified.

Baba you must be really tall!

this is my second go around with surgery with the 1st one in 2011 i lost 15 pre-op, Now for the revision I start my liquid diet Wednesday. But from the 1st appointment with the new doc (sepetember) I've dropped 15lbs. (plus I can eat a little better now that he emptied my band)

So far I have lost 35 pounds with a couple weeks to go
