My lapband should improve by best weight loss numbers from the past right?

Hey Guys,
I get my banded on Tuesday and I am pretty excited. I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to figure out how fast I can lose the 70 pounds I need to lose and I have been trying use other peoples numbers as a gauge. My question is shouldn't I at least be able to do what I have normally done without the band? For example I can lose 40 pounds in 3 months without the band (cant keep it off) so I should at least be able to match that with the band. I was 5 years younger and didn't have ACL surgery back then but I should still get close to those results right?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but maybe you guys have been able to tell a difference in weight lost over different time periods. Thanks for listening
