Hey!! Youll do great I am 5'5 started at 420 bmi 70 ive lost 150 lbs so far my dad is 6ft and started at 479 and he has lost over 200 pounds.. They will most likley say the same thing to you as me though that any weight you can lose ahead of time will help the surgery go smoother and probably put you on a liquid diet because severly morbidly obese patients have very swollen livers and this helps the swelling
