This is where my calculator broke...
When you start WLS journey, you are required to loose a good portion of weight. For her, it usually would be around 50-75lbs (minimum)... This can be done with medication, shakes, etc. but usually near the end, the surgeon wants to see you eating regular small meals and maintaining before doing surgery... So, if she started at 376, then lost, just say the minimum 50lbs, she should have been down to 326 before surgery... Then, she has only lost another 50lbs....
The math doesn’t work out and no surgeon in their right mind would be happy with her right now.. Even if we go by her 276 weight, she has at least another 126lbs, minimum, the doctor would like to see her loose and really, to be blunt, they would like to see her loose another 146lbs.
I know because I am her “supposed” size now.. The surgeon I talked to, wanted to see me at least get down to 150lb after surgery and would like to really have seen me go down to between 130-135lb....
