I have been doing all my preop tests since August. My first consult with the surgeon

's partner was in August. They said I had to lose 20 pounds, I did in one month, but I told them I cannot maintain it. After I lost my weight, then they proceeded with all my preop tests. I have gained most of the weight back now, due to holidays and delays but my appt. is Jan. 4 and does anyone know if they will be "STICKLERS" about it? The receptionist informed me I this appt. would only be about 20 minutes and we schedule our date for surgery within 2-3 weeks from this appt. I had to lose weight to show my committment that i am serious. They make all their patients do it...anyone have any input.???? I am nervous to see him and have gained weight, but it has been almost 5 months and WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT GOES ABOUT MAINTING A DIET...this is why I am pursuing this procedure. I have no comorbs really, just overweight...any input would be greatly appreciated. Patricia :)
