    I haven't been told or even suggested a goal weight from my surgeon or my primary dr. I myself want to loose at least 150 pounds. I just started this whole process and haven't had surgery yet but, my starting weight was 369 and currently weigh 345.4. My BMI is off the chart so I know I would like to have a BMI that's not considered Morbidly Obese, but I am not sure if I'll get to a "normal" BMI.

    I have never set a goal with my surgeon. My last appointment I was 178 and he said - do you have a goal weight in mind? I said no - and he said good, I don't want you to focus on a number anymore I want you to focus on how you feel. So - while I still focus on the scale I don't necessarily have a number in mind.
