Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hi Starlet, Although it was not 90 lbs, my doctor did want me to lose weight before the surgery. He said that since he has put that condition on people wanting surgery, the surgeries are coming out much more successful and with fewer complications. What he told me was that when you start losing weight you start losing it inside with your organs first and it makes the surgery easier to preform and with less problems. He wanted me to lose 54 lbs, I lost 46. I think it is also his way of making sure you are committed to the surgery. That part of it didn't make much sense to me, because if we could lose weight on our own and keep it off, we would have all done it already. Every Doctor is different, so you might want to see if there is another in your area, or discuss this requirement with someone in his office. Best of luck, -- why do i have to loose wieght?????????? been a while since i posted! i did not want to drag the wonderful moral down with my bad attitude, but come on i finally got aproved then they take it away then they aprove me up down up down... then i recieved a consultqion in the mail.. woohoo so happy scared to open the letter.. long be hold it says i have to wait to august and i have to loose 90 pounds.. did you all have to loose weight.. or so much.. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS???? DID YOU HAVE TO LOOSE SO MUCH WEIGHT AND GIVE A OR ELSE YOUR CONSUTAION WILL BE CANCELED???? thanks starlet _________________________________________________________________ Watch high-quality video with fast playback at MSN Video.
