Not loosing enough weight during pre-op diet.

[cogaz 0]

Does anyone know if a patient has been denied surgery due to not losing enough weight during pre-op diet? I ask because I gained about 10# during the holiday since turning in my health questionnaire. So far I'm following pre-op to a t but will probably weigh the same as listed in the health q I filled out 2 months ago.

My NUT told me that my paper work would be sent to the insurance with my original weigh-in date on my first visit,

My insurance required a six month managed plan so every time I checked in I was weighed. All they required was to show I could lose weight, not a specific amount. I have heard many posters on this forum say that Surgeons would not perform the surgery unless the patient could show they could stick to a plan and lose weight

I worried the same thing and went back and forth in my mind about that whole idea..what if I lost a lot of weigh like I have done before?would they then deny me the surgery since I was doing so well?seemed like a catch 22.in the end it didn't matter I stayed pretty even and was approved for the surgery most likely because I had 3 co morbidities.

I had my surgery in Mexico. I was asked to lose 35 pounds. I only lost 25 pounds. They still did my surgery. I didn't cheat in the pre op. I lost 25 and then hit a stall for 2 weeks.
