After completing your 10% weightloss and recieved your date... has anyone ever gained weight and for that had the surgery postponed? I am so worried about gaining a few lbs and having them cancel/reschedule the surgery date..... Anyone heard of this?

Hi - they don't weigh you on day of surgery but definately don't show up for pre-op day having gained much. I got weighed several times that day. Was so scared to even eat lunch!

Not sure. I had appointments for ultrasounds of my legs and gallbladder - got weighed at both, don't know why, actual weight does not have anything to do with how the tests are done. Then I had my actual hospital pre-op, they weighed me there too. Then I had pre-op with my surgeon - the only place that I really expected to get weighed and that was the last appoinment of my day. It stayed the same all day and I was a little less than the day we set the date. But then again it was only three weeks from getting the date to the surgery.

just a thought- [from someone who is going to Ellis] - about all the weights taken during day...

maybe they are collecting data on a person's weight may fluctuate during the course of a day-

we know that happens- perhaps they want an idea of what is the average for most people.....

I'm pretty sure that the last weigh in that matters is the pre-op with your surgeon. They don't weigh you the day of your surgery.  I would try really hard not to gain any weight since your last weigh in,  because he might give you a hard time.  When I went to my pre-op with Dr. Dunnican, he was happy that I had lost more weight, because he told me he canceled 2 surgeries before me because they didn't have all their weight off.   You can do it, just keep positive! Good Luck!

I asked.. they said it was just procedure.. I dont belive they do any sharing..
yeah, the main one would be your Dr's

FYI.. anytime I have an appt with them I go at 8am to weigh in.. before Ive had anything to eat.. even if my appt with them is in the afternoon.. then again I live walking distance from their office
