Mine is like 32. What did you guys do for your preop diet!What did you guys do for a pre op diet? Obviously we can't do liquids for 2 weeks we would loose to much! We need to shrink our livers before surgery I know. My Dr said just do liquid and laxative 2 days prior to surgery. I'm scared this isn't enough though???? What did you guys do???

3 wks of 2 shakes a day 1 balanced meal..no caffeine. 48 hrs prior it was 3 shakes only.

I started at 32.3 BMI. Surgery 12/31/14 and no pre-op diet. Although I did lose 8 lbs pre-op on my own (weighed 195 on 12/5/14, then weighed 188 on 12/31/14 surgery day). I just decided on my own not to pig out over Christmas; I was working on changing my eating habits and working on my mental behaviors with food. Luckily I have had zero post-op depression or hard moments. Zero. I don't know if I can attribute that to working on that before or if I was simply just so, so, so ready to change. My journey has been nothing but positive. I am ecstatic that I did this. Zero regrets. Good luck to you on your journey; I wish you the best!

I have fallon and they told me that every case is different and they don't have a bmi restriction. Has anyone heard of that brfore? The dr that turned me down would even do it with self pay.

I did five days only liquids protein shakes etc and ate chicken breast baked for dinner 4 ounces. I lost ten pounds too

What happens if you drop below 35 bmi before surgery?

Usually nothing. Most insurance goes by the weight documented when your paperwork is submitted for approval, not your weight the day of surgery. However, I'd double check with your program just to make sure.

Hi had my sleeve on 25 th November 2014. Bmi of 33. I am now BMI of 18. I am so happy it's amazing. Knees and health so much better and restriction still good. My problem is I'm only 6 months post op and still loosing but I can't afford to loose any more. I have lost my 4 1/2 stone =60 pound excess weight but it's still coming off and I don't know what to do. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do? I don't feel my restriction will alow any more calories .sorry to be insensitive to high BMIers but this is a real problem which I never envisioned . My husband hates me this thin ( which I really love), but worried iv possibly another year of weight loss. Can anyone advise please?
