I guess I'm a bit paranoid because a year ago I went through this process and was denied because at this weight, although I met the 100lbs over IBW, my co-morbidities weren't severe enough.<br /><br />It wasn't until I gained those 15 pounds between the hubster's homecoming and the prednisone that my comorbids got worse and I was approved. <br /><br />I hope the Dex is helping your husband and he is able to go into remission. Thoughts and prayers your way!*~D~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05683337496822967339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806303154777119428.post-22686055999814471002010-02-22T19:55:13.488-06:002010-02-22T19:55:13.488-06:00Hey Chicky.. almost everyone has a great pre op we...Hey Chicky.. almost everyone has a great pre op weight loss and we can only wish that is what WL will be like after the band.. but it doesn't work that way.. you shouldn't worry about having a lower BW by the time of surgery.. the docs like to see that and encourage WL so that your liver is easier to move around during surgery.<br />As far as prednisone.. my husband in on Dex for cancer and let me tell you he has gained a lot of weight.. it does turn you into an eating machice.. hope you come off of that soon..<br /><br />Be well and goodluck.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379831210874549148noreply@blogger.com
