weight gain

Has anyone had their surgery pushed back because of weight gain?

I actually haven't heard of THAT being the stated cause. I've heard of 'liver not yet shrunk enough' and variations of infectious processes (colds. flu etc).

Most Bandsters have a lot of experience with successful SHORT term weight loss.....it's the 'month after month' and 'year after year' phase we never managed to do.

Yes, but it is not neccesarily a physical weight gain, I know some Dr's will cancel if the liver is to big because it obstructs their view and cause complications. I know alot of people prior to surgery take like a meal replacement to help with liver shrinkage. Have you seen the bariatric advantage meal replacements they are actually scientificaly proven to shrink liver. Here is the link,
