Has anyone gained weight prior to surgery with Dr. Beausoleil and he still performed the surgery? 

 

Thanks ?

Hi,

I had a sleeve, not a RNY, and I lost weight prior to surgery.

I was told I could not gain weight or the surgery would be pushed bac****il the weight was lost. I think if you gain 5lbs or less they may still keep the surgery scheduled but I know for a fact they have cancelled surgeries because people gained weight. I would call them to find out and if you did gain maybe ask them for help to loose it. I myself asked to see the dietician regularly prior to surgery to prepare myself and start the loosing process.

I was told that I could not gain any weight from the first appointment.  They weighed me and that is the weight they go by.  The nurse explained that people were gaining weight before surgery because they thought they could eat whatever they wanted.  She said it is not healthy to gain weight before surgery.  You can call and ask, but I am thinking that if they have rules they will not change them.
