I lost 10 lbs in August, but

OMG, OP, it's really easy:

Find a doctor that will do in-person appointments, or ask your doctor to refer you to someone who will do the weight check for you so that it can be recorded.

Anyway, the point is actually that you've only lost 5 of the 20 pounds you need to lose, so your doctor doesn't care. If you told you lost 20 lbs, she'd probably bring you in to verify and schedule your surgery. It doesn't matter that you've lost 5 or 10 or whatever pounds, you haven't lost what you need to lose.

I say this kindly, as someone who has 40 lbs to lose myself.
