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?"

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.

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.

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

How much do you have to lose? 100? 400?

The more weight you take off now proves to your surgeon you will be a success. He wants to know you understand it is a lifestyle change and not just an easy way out. Also, the more you lose the easier it is for him to get to the organs he need to get to. It definitely will help your recover more quickly. Just continue following his asks. He knows what he is doing.
