How much weight did you/were you supposed to lose pre-op?

I was just wondering how much weight everyone lost pre-op, and how much they were asked to lose, if any.

I lost 5 lbs but wasn't required to lose any.

My doctor didn't require me to lose any weight pre-op.  So, of course, being the food addict that I was, I didn't.  LOL.

In the program I'm in we had to lose  to get our liver shurnk to have lap r-n-y . No set amount was ever told to me  but the diet we were on you had to lose..  GOOD LUCK  IN YOUR SURGERY !!

I was told to lose 10-20 pounds, preferably 20, but I only lost 10. And Dr. Avara told my husband, while I was in recovery, that my surgery was a little bit more tougher than he thought it would be. Most likely because I got lazy on the all liquid diet at the end and my liver was probably too large. But I am still losing, so I really don't care at this point. LOL

Dr. King placed me on a liquid diet two weeks prior to my surgery date.  The purpose of this diet was to reduce the size of my liver.  {I had to have the Open Gastric Bypass}.  I lost a total of 22 lbs prior to the surgery.  I suppose it depends on the surgeon's requirements.

Be Blessed,
