My medical plan makes you do the 6 month doctor visits. i am follow to the letter my doctors instructions. One of the things she is having me do is 3 months of prescription diet pills. I have lost 35 lbs, which I am happy about, in 6 weeks. Is there such a thing as too much weight loss before surgery? I started this journey at 312. I still want to do the surgery since you can only take the pills for 3 months. Any advice would be great.

The only thing I would think would be defined as too much weight loss pre-surgery was if 1) you start with a low BMI and you drop below where your insurance were to approve your surgery and/or 2) you followed an unhealthy diet and went into surgery extremely malnourished or with other health problems due to an unhealthy diet.

My surgery approval was based on the weight at my first appointment, not at my last one before surgery. I would recommend you check with your insurance company.
