referral done

my GP did my referral last week to Windsor.  I feel such limbo now.  I am a yo-yo dieter.  do I try to lose weight on my own while I wait?  what if I lost enough weight to bring my BMI down to where they won't do the surgery .... so confused - I don't want to gain anymore and I hate how I look and feel right now .... what did you all do while you waited?

You should lose weight on your own, but do not lose so much weight that you risk being denied the surgery.  I gave up the "white trash", flour, bread, potatoes, rice, cereal, sugar and sodas.  I ate very healthy and lost some weight but did not go below the required BMI.
