Weird or No?

Okay so I'm having the vsg surgery. My first Dr visit was in Feb. I'm on the 6 month plan before surgery so my insurance will pay. All the stories im reading pretty much says they had to lose weight within those 6 months to qualify for the surgery. Im 5'8 314 is it weird the Dr never said I had to lose weight?

      I was told not to gain. But I didn't have a number to lose. I'm hoping to be surgical to go by Sept 30 Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

    I had a three month supervised diet. I was not required to loose weight. I lost about 10 pounds.
