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:)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
