Weight loss before surgery


Recommended Posts

Ok, I feel bad even asking the question but here goes...if I don't lose any weight before surgery will they really not operate? I understand that they "might not".. I was just wondering if anyone else had surgery without losing any weight first. The scale just isn't dropping for me. Thanks.

I think this depends on a lot of factors. Did you stay on the proper pre-op diet before hand? What is your BMI? One woman on the board had her surgery done without even doing the pre-op diet, but she was a lower end BMI to start with. The whole point is to shrink the liver, so I would think that if you stuck with the low calorie pre-op diet like you're supposed to, they would probably do it anyway.
