[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because even if she writes it down today you could gain it all back and then some before your next in person appointment (I assume the surgery won’t be scheduled via phone/video). Focus on losing the next 5 pounds and at least maintaining that loss for a while.[/quote]

??? The scheduling is by phone. The surgery itself will be in person, but the procedures are scheduled via a phone call.

I can’t be scheduled until I qualify by weight. I won’t be allowed to self-confirm that I qualify by weight or send a photo of me on the scale. But I also can’t come in for a weight check. [/quote]

Your doctor will allow you to come in for a weight check when you have lost the 20 pounds and if, at the time you have lost 20 pounds, hospitals are open for elective surgery.

I don’t understand what impact you think it will have to record the partial weight loss in your official medical history?  Do you think they will schedule you when you are “close” to the target weight?  Does the fact that they won’t accept your self-reported weight loss now make you afraid that when you do get down to the target weight, they won’t believe you or offer a way forward? What is driving your focus on the failure to record partial weight loss? [/quote]
