How much weight did you lose pre surgery?

I was a 41. BMI in June. I have lost 36 lbs so far. I have my six month pre surgery appointment on Weds 10-14. Some days I am only a few pounds from my 35 BMI. Can you get disqulified if you lose below that? I thought it went on your starting weight. If that's the case, I might be in trouble on Weds. I don't want to gain any weight back but I don't want to blow the chance of my insurance covering it either.

I was on a pre surgery (mostly) liquid diet for about a week prior to my surgery. and then on a full liquid diet for 2 days and then nothing the day before my surgery. I was starving but I did it. I lost about 15 pounds (averaged about a pound a day)

How are you feeling now? I see you just had surgery?

I am feeling good for the most part. Still trying to get used to all the changes. I am struggling with old habits trying to creep back in

I have lost about 20 pounds in the last 9 months, I'd say? it's been a bi***, but totally worth it. Covid didn't help NOTHING and IMO made some things harder. I am hopefully going to get my answer in the next week (fingers crossed) if I have been approved but I have been on a supervised diet, not able to go over 1300 calories and have met most protein and carb requirements. I had to log everything as well to show my doctor at my monthly appointments.

I think that is pretty ideal. losing, rather than gaining! I saw a post you made about being denied. I'm sorry. I hope you can overturn that decision! Good luck!

I was just approved! meeting with my surgeon at the end of the month!

Congrats!

I gained 70 lb

on purpose? I haven't looked more into your profile, but did you have surgery yet? have you lost that 70?
