Weight loss Before surgery

OK, so I've been to my seminar and my first shot is March 1. I heard about how you are expected to lose some weight on your own and have to do 2 weeks of liquid diet before surgery. My question is I have a BMI of 38 with high blood pressure. What if when I lose some weight before surgery I fall below the BMI need for surgery???

    My insurance would have denied me if I would have dropped below a certain BMI prior to approval. Once approved you'll be in the clear, well, should be anyway. Your doctor should be able to find out or look into your insurance. There should be requirement guidelines in your policy.
