Pre Op Weight Lost Goal

For Dr. Aranow's patients when he tells you that you have to lose a certain amount, do you have to go back and see him to see if you lost it or when you go to Elina his dietician does she report back to him that you lost it. Also if you did not lose it all and have to come back who do you see. Just wndering because my second visit with Elina is tomorrow and I am paying out of pocket and just need to know if I will have to see her again or Dr. Aranow

Hi, I went back and see Lois for weight in and made my goal weight loss which required by Dr Aranow. You don't have to see Elina again after that but you have to see her again after your surgery . Hope that answered your question Kathy K

Hi LaToya, I had to lose weight for pre-op and did not lose the enitre 10 lbs . I had to go back and get weighted in ..One of the office staff will do it and record it. I happen to have run into Elina and she weighted me but she said anyone would do that for me/us. I saw her twice and did not have to make an appointment for the last weigh -in . Good luck. Hugs Pattie
