My surgery is scheduled for February 8th. When I started this last year my weight was 262. By the time I was done with classes I was down to 252. I have quit smoking since September and now back up to 258. Has anybody had some weight gain but still not over your top weight and still had surgery? I'm scared the surgeon is going to cancel. Yes I am still working at losing.

When is your surgery? 6 pounds isn't an enormous weight gain so I don't think it'll make a big difference but you should probably ask your surgeon about it if you're worried he/she will cancel.

I was stupid and went on a "last hurrah" before surgery and gained a few pounds. Got a little scolding from my surgeon and 2 weeks pre-op I cleaned up my act so I wouldn't risk liver enlargement and I was fine.

That being said, every surgeon is different so you really should consult with your doctor to find out how much weight gain he/she thinks is acceptable before surgery.

My surgeon requires i lose a certain amount of weight before surgery. i was only 2 lbs away from his goal, quit smoking and now have to lose 8 lbs within 4 weeks. Doesnt seem like a lot but its very hard for me to lose. Im thinking of trying a liquid diet for the week before i go see him so ill definitely lose it. My surgeon willl not schedule if I dont lose these last few lbs. So frustrating!
