Thumbs up Yup-- best to lose weight pre op

Yes, my Dr told me to lose between 10-20 lbs.. He does not operate on ppl that won't lose weight before surgery.

I came in around 15-16lbs less

I did Nutrasystem and it worked in 3 weeks

He said it is to shrink the liver for easiest operation (liver gets in the way), as well as for faster healing time, less risk of damage/brusing to the liver during surgery, and better long term results overall beacause.

The body will lose some where between 60-80% of it's "overweightness" following surgery... so the less you weigh Post Op-- the less you will weigh when you level off after the 18 months or whatever that # is

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

So did you just start to loose weight 3 weeks before your surgery date. Did you also integrate exercise into your weight loss plan pre-op

OMG!! NyGal - You look wonderful! What an astounding difference after just 1 month!!!

Oh, I'm ready tomorrow. Do you know how good I would feel if I lost that? I could get so much done and probably even sleep flat again!

I am amazed!
