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:)

I am just that! Getting sleeved March 3
