Weight loss - Does this annoy you?

Probably putting this in the wrong spot but oh well. Does it annoy you when all the people on this site there obviously big/ or have been and they weight what 150-200kgs or more and they have the lap band and then they loose weight and they have maybe 10 kgs to loose to there goal weight and there not happy? This just annoys me alot, if you have gotten the lapband it is obviously because you have either lost weight and couldnt keep it off or you couldnt loose weight and then you read about people that say "Oh I'm totally pissed, I've only lost 5kgs, I really wish it was more" I mean you've never lost that much in one go so why in the hell are you complaining? Frankly I havent had the band yet but I know for a fact that I'm going to be exstatic when I have lost 10-20 or even 40 kgs, I'm not going to be pissed off if I've only lost 5kgs cuz I've never lost that much weight at one time. Does anyone see what I'm getting at? Also yes you would be frustrated as you do want to loose that little amount of weight but really why get so pissy about it?

thats how I felt when I first started off with this whole process.I didn't understand why someone would be upset at losing 50,60, 80 or more Pd's and then be upset because the last 5 or 10 wont budge. I now see its an ongoing battle. everyone sets a goal and of course their upset if they don't reach it. the best we can all do is to continue to provide encouragement. My personal goal is 199, yup you read it right 199 Pd's.

if I happen to lose more, then of course I will take it.
