I had my first appt yesterday. Loking at surgery around late summer. The nurse told me I should expect to lose 60%of my excess weight. I am female and 245 pounds as of now (my highest weight). She said I should expect to get to 185 pounds. To me that's still big considering my ideal weight according to the nurse is 145. I was hoping to get to at least 150--or less. Does this sound realistic? I'm kind of discouraged.....
