Anyone out there that has started close to 400 pounds??

So I'm currently at 411 down from my highest of 428... I'm in the final stages of dealing with the nutritionist, which I go back on the 16th, but I'm curious about anyone out there that started close to 400 pounds and got the sleeve and where are you now? Will I eventually need to get a bypass as well or can I lose it all just with a sleeve... My doctor told me yes I can just with the sleeve but keep the bypass on the back burner in case I need it later on... I'm 5'6 and I'm not looking to be 125 pounds but do you think it's obtainable to get down to like 180?? Thoughts anyone....
