was anyone over 400 lbs and went to mexico and had the surgery done? i was approved by the surgeon but am nervous.

Who is your surgeon if I may ask?

I'm in Cali my highest weight was 525 Dr consult 442 current weight is 432 ... My Dr has not said that I need to lose anything the hospital has no weight limit ... This thread makes me nervous I hope I don't get to Dr consult before surgery which is the 14th and he says lose more weight.. I'm doing everything I can to lose another 20 lbs before the 23rd. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am already in the books... Can he change it?

not said that I need to lose anything - hospital has no weight limit .

@@coleenrenee

your surgeon had all your info

height, weight, age, etc

hospital says no weight limit

doc says you have been approved

"sounds" like you should be good to go

many people try (or have to) loose weight prior to surgery

the more you loose now

the less you have to loose PO

makes silly sense of course

loosing 5-10 lbs or more would be great

surgery easier for doc (safer for you) since your liver has shrunk a bit

there is a board on here for weight loss with specific amounts to loose

50+ lbs

100 lbs

200 lbs too

find the "200 lb" board

your question might be answered by people around your weight

best of luck on your journey

speedy recovery

thanks guys. ive already asked weightlossagents and they said i should be good to go! i started my preop diet 3 days early. i have no comorbidities im just obese ???? im just getting more nervous as the day approaches.

Just an encouraging word... I was 529 when I started my pre-op and 504 the day of surgery. I'm two years out and just about -200lbs now. You got some great input from ProudGrammy. Good luck!
