What did your surgeon say your weight had to be before surgery?

SunshineUnicorn

There is no specific loss requirement for me. I was told I will have to drink Optifast for 2 weeks prior to shrink my liver. And if they open my up and my liver is too fat, they will close me up and make me start the year process again.

So far I havent been told I have to do the Options class. In our handbook and at the 4 hr orientation they didnt talk about that step at all

I'm 5"3 when I first started in September I weighed 243. I lost 5lbs before meeting surgeon. I met surgeon in Oct. he gave me a surgery goal weight of 227. I followed my diet and reached 227 by 1st of November. I was afraid to lose to much before final meeting with surgeon so I maintained my weight to around 224 - 225. Started my pre-op diet a week ago yesterday. Met surgeon for final consult. This morning weighed 219.4. Have 5 days to go till surgery.

You're Kaiser, right? I'm telling you, they want you to lose 10% of your highest recorded weight in the last calendar year. When I went for my first weigh in during August, I was 216 but I was already 50lbs lower than my high weight of 265 in March of last year so they were willing to schedule me right away. I wasn't available until Jan so we made it then. I also was told by my surgeon that I didn't need to fast at all pre-surgery because my BMI was already fairly low. The concerns about the liver are less pressing for them if you're below a certain BMI I think.

Let me know if I can help at all in any way:)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
