I've noticed that some doctors require weight loss prior to surgery and others don't so you'll have to see what your doctor requires. Have a great day!

I didn't have to lose weight - My insurance (United Health Care) just required DR documentation that I had a BMI of 40 for the past 5 years. I was just approved and I am scheduled for RNY on 9-25. Good luck with your process. Chikita      |
