Pre-op weight loss?

Hi I'm new to this as well, did anyone have to lose a certain amount of weight before they had their surgery?

    Just about every program has different requirements. Some just have to see a weight loss. Others want to see a percentage (5-10%) loss. Still others it will be one's insurance company that will set the guidelines.

    It will all depend on your insurance together with the bariatric team that you have chosen.

    My surgeon is requiring that I lose at least 5% of my body weight. I think it doesn't just depend on your surgeon but your weight as well.
