Hey I am having trouble losing weight before surgery. Originally my bmi was 37, but I gained weight because I was denied twice. I was told my surgery was not medically necessary due to my bmi. I'm trying to get my weight back down, but I'm struggling. Does anyone have any suggestions that have worked for them to get their weight down before surgery?

Have you been tracking what you've been eating?

How many calories a day? Carbs? Protein? That would be a good start.

Have you considered self funding? Not sure if that is possible for you financially but if it is, lots of people do it.
