Weight Goal, I Am Upset

i'm sure there are plenty of dummies who see this as an easy way out and skew the success rates for the rest of us.

Thank you everyone. I totally understand that I need to work a lot to reach my goal and surgery is the tool.

My doctor told me that I could expect to lose only 60% of my excess weight and he put my goal at 110 pounds. I have no idea how he came up with that figure. At 110 pounds. I'd be wearing a size 0. I flat out refuse to go there.

hmm if I would count 60% of my excess weight. I need to lose 104lbs. this is exactly what I want

Last week at the surgeons' I was told he would remove 70-75% of the stomach and that I would lose approximately 80% of my goal of 100 pounds. He suggested an RNY and I told him I would not be comfortable with that and still wanted the sleeve. I did not come this far to get my dreams shattered. I will merely diet until the whole 100 comes off.
