I was wondering how much total weight did you loose before your surgery date??

Edited to add: I know a lot of us new pre op band-sters, are worried about loosing too much, or not enought and what not.. So just wondering what you did.

ALL votes are private just so you know:)

From January until the day before surgery I had lost about 15% of my total weight that I need to lose. I had a high BMI to start off with so even after my weight loss I am still over a 40 BMI. No biggy to me cause I will get down to what I plan!

Ditto adding a 0/few pounds. I believe (confirming at my appt.) I can't gain, but I'm not supposed to lose much either; wondering how many others got that advice.

I didn't even lose 5%. I lost 6.6 lbs from a weight of 242ish at my surgical consultation to 236ish on my surgery day. Been going strong since though, following the postop plan very strictly and enjoying life a lot.

I am in month three of my 6 month supervised diet, and I've lost some weight, and now I've gained a few pounds over the holidays...but overall am still down a couple of pounds from my beginning weight. I think most of all the insurance companies want you to just fulfill the requirement of 6 months with doc visits to show your dedication to a lifestyle change. My insurance doesn't say any certain amount is required to be lost before the 6 months is up. But, I am trying to learn something in this six months, so I do hope to lose about 10% of my body weight by the time the 6 months is up. Just a thought!

      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.
