anyone have surgeon postpone surgery for lack of weight loss?
i go in for my pre-op friday the 29th and my surgery is scheduled for the 1st. i was told 1 1/2 weeks ago to sub 2 meals a day with shakes like slimfast to drop a few pounds before surgery. i havent lost any weight, i know it is my fault i have no willpower and may do good one day or half a day then i completely go off diet track. this back and forth has left me with no weight loss to show the dr. i may have even gained 5 lbs! im very scared on friday at my pre-op she will decide to postpone surgery another 2 weeks or so untill i drop some weight. anyone have thier surgeon change surgery date because thay had no weight loss? anyone have no weight loss and surgeon still did surgery? just some other information i am 5'2" and 227 lbs. about a 41 bmi. im so excited to finally start to feel normal again and would hate for it to get pushed out to a further date. any info anyone has would be so great! im seeing dr. farida bounoua, i havent found anyone else who has seen her.
Well mom_to_4boyz, I am in the same situation. I have to go see my surgen on june 2nd for my overall visit, I have 14 of the 37 pounds left to loose before she will scheldule the surgery. Im at the point were it is what it is. I have other obligations to meet as well before then and ultimately having an open mind about the whole thing. Good luck with the rest of your journey, I think if you think positive your results will be positive.
