Re: BMI is above 50...not sure if dr will approve for surgery

In January of this year my BMI was just over 60. Since then I have lost 20 lbs and brought my BMI down just a few points and am still at 58. My surgeon knows that my BMI is as high as it is and has instructed me to do the liver shrinking diet for 3 weeks prior to my surgery. Again like others to make sure there was enough room to get around the stomach.

Good luck to all those having surgery soon and good luck to you with your meeting with your surgeon.
