How did you come up with your goal weight if your doctor didn't give one? Especially for those who chose goals higher than their normal BMI. I haven't been under 200 pounds in my adult life, so I don't have a weight that I recall being comfortable at.

Suggestions... I'm 5'4, starting weight 315 (03/2012) (at least a starting goal before I consider plastics)

(also, if theres anyone in the nyc area that did consults for plastics, I'd like to know ballpark figures of popular procedures... or the input of anyone that went or is considering plastics in Mexico or DR)

I am 5'6 my wt. before surgery 282. I am now 239.size16 from 22-24. I dont remember an actual weight goal but I was thinking 150.

Surgeon told me with height and age, body build....my goal weight is 154...I'm 5.5 tall. 45 years old. I went from 276 down to 162...a good 8-10 pounds to go.

I have a lot of short term goals to get thru before my big goal. I started at 250. My first goal I gave myself was to get to 230 which was my weight I was prior to surgery cause I had to gain weight to qualify. I am currently at 225 1 1/2 months later. My next goal is 212. Which was the lowest weight I was at last year. After I hit that goal its 199. Me and bestie are throwing a party cause I got below the 200's. My final weight I would like to stay at goes between 160-170. Im 5'7" my smallest ever was 130 and looking back that was to skinny for me.

I think 168 but my dr thinks that might be too low.i am 6'1". I will just have to see once i get closer

My goal is 150 I'm 168 now so I'm close but my doctor didn't think I would get this small she told me id lose 50% of my body weight that's all the lapband would do well I'm at 61% and counting lol.

Hynita, when u say 50% of your body weight, did the doctor mean 50% of the weight you had to lose or 50% of your starting weight?
