Weight gain

[Kgacia 2]

When you go to the Bariatrics doc and you keep gaining weight is that bad and what will they do to you will they cancel your surgery

I gained and they didn't cancel. Stick to the pre surgery diet when the time comes.

I think I only lost 5 on my last nut appointment and I did the pre op diet for a month before my surgery an lost 25.

During my six months of meeting with my NUT I had continuously went up and down. But once it got down to surgery time they told me I had to keep at least 7 lbs off for them to feel comfortable doing the surgery. Just be sure to do what they suggested or post op will be horrible

From the time I started with my dietician to now (almost 7 months) I have gained about 23 pounds, and I am still eligible for surgery. She even tells me this is why I am a good candidate for the surgery since I have been making positive changes, but keep gaining weight.

From the time of my first appointment with the weight loss center through my final pre-op appointment with my surgeon they have weighed me every time, and emphasized if I gained any weight during that process my insurance company would not approve my surgery.

There is no universal answer to this question. It varies considerably.

Your own surgeon's requirements and your own insurance company's requirements re weight gain pre-op are what will govern the decision re surgery. Other patients' surgeons' and insurance companies' policies don't matter.

Find out what your surgeon / insurance company require.
