Why aren't you asking your surgeon to explain? They should also tell you what your weight loss requirement is. Ask questions, advocate for yourself

As my surgeon explained to me, that by losing weight before hand, you are setting yourself for success after surgery. During this time, you're learning a healthy eating lifestyle and incorporating exercise to keep the weight off.
My surgeon wanted me to lose 10 lbs. I lost 40. The biggest regret is that I didn't do any exercise before hand. I wish I had,

Possibly a 100 pound weight loss to show that you are serious about being on a diet. Your doctor will give you the required amount.

I lost about 30 lbs but my Surgeon want me lose more weight I'm so frustrated my question is How much additional weight do I need to lose before surgery, and why is it critical for the procedure?"

Hi gang. Thanks for starting us again. I'm still getting through holiday leftovers. They'll be gone tomorrow. Huzzah!
QOTD: besides being humongous, i was already on metformin for Type 2 diabetes. They told me I was going to need insulin before much longer. One of my primary WLS goals was to be off all meds. As soon as I got home from surgery my blood sugars were normal. It was pretty miraculous.
