Weight loss

Do they weigh you before surgery?
At my consultation I told them my weight and they said I shouldn’t lose any more weight or they won’t do the surgery as I’m very slim!
I’m actually trying to gain a bit of weight before the surgery (5lbs maybe??)
But I’m finding it hard and have actually lost 2lbs in the last week!!!!
Do they weigh you before the surgery? I’m worried they’ll say they won’t do it because I’m too slim!

Hi love they didnt weigh me at all
Mr Traynor said i was slim but never said anything more x

They do weight and height and blood presure before your op x

Ur weight is important as it along with ur height informs ur bmi and allows the anesthetist to work out how much medication to put u under. If ur bmi is too low then u may be unsuitable for surgery because ur at a higher risk of complications as its more risky on the body.

If u lose a considerable amount of weight that makes u lose a lot of volume to ur boobs then the implant size, placement and proceedure.
Prior to ur op ur weight will be recorded. If ur concerned by how much u have lost then arrange another consultation for ur surgeon to double check ur measurements and check over what was initally agreed. End of the day only ur surgeon has the capability of letting u know if there are gona be any changes

Communication, preparation and planning is the key to the outcome you want.

Bulking up on protein and meal supplements like complan shake can help to put on weight. I drank this post op to help keep me going when I couldn’t cook etc

Thanks everyone.
I’ve calculated my BMI and it’s 18.5
I’m just worried this is too low. I have just under 2 months before the op so hope I can gain some weight before then!

18.5 will be fine Hun normal is 18.5 – 25, mine was 18.5 the day of my op just try not to lose anymore xx

Thanks Claire! X
