Someone just told me that if I lose too much weight pre-op, they won't do the surgery. Is this true?! I've lost 11 lbs, but I don't think that's "too much." My BMI is still 45.5.
Hi There, I was worried about that myself. I lost 20 lbs before surgery and I was already considered a light weight But I had 3 co-morbid conditions. On my day of surgery my weight was 213 do to the 20lbs already lost. So I am sure you will be fine.
I was told not to lose too much before I go to the surgeon. If I do wear heavy clothes as not to make my BMI go down to much. Once I start the 2 week pre-op diet I'm good to go.
