The surgeons office called today and they’ve scheduled me for August 13th.

But ... she said my weight was down and they want me to stay at 240. Last weigh in was 238 and I’ve since lost 3 more lbs.

I have to get it back to 240 and hold it there for my weigh ins. She said the insurance companies are weird about comorbidities and they need me to keep my BMI at 40.

WTH!

Congrats on the surgery date!!! I would love for someone to tell me I needed to gain 5lbs before surgery.

Maybe you can invest in some ankle weights and wear those for your weigh ins. lol

Also, since your date is this summer, you're invited to join our Summer Surgery Group:

That’s what I told my husband! Coins in my pockets, ankle weights, heavy shoes...

Holy kwap, I can’t hold my weight steady til August and I’m not supposed to go over my initial weight either!

I’ve been trying to not keep junk food around as my husband is in the final stretch for his May surgery date. I guess I’ll just eat healthy in bigger portions and deal with the weigh ins each month as they come. [emoji849]

I can imagine how frustrating that must be. But as you said, just take one weigh in at a time.
