My first surgeon was the one who required that I lose 50 pre-op, so I changed

surgeons...LOL!

Re: why do i have to loose weight??????

I have heard that some surgeons and/or insurance companies require this; but not

90 lbs. Ive read that 10% weight loss is required if a patient has a fatty

liver and is difficult to move out of the way (for LAP RNY). Ive also read

where surgeons/insurance wants to see a small loss to indicate you are indeed

serious about the surgery. But 90 lbs??? Geez, If I could lose 90 lbs on my

own, I wouldnt need surgery!
