90% (to get to a 'normal' BMI)

I've gone from a size 24/26, to a size 6 (I'm two weeks away from my 1-year banding anniversary)

your numbers seem similar to mine...can I ask how tall you are? I'm just curious...people seem to think I won't be able to get down to a size 6 - so 8 is my goal.

ummm.. depends on what you use to define excess. I ran a full marathon, but by BMI standards I am still considered over weight.. I'm pretty healthy as 206 or so, compared to 360, so I'm going with 95%.

I have lost about 85% of my excess weight. My heaviest was 296 and now i am at 169. I was 264 when i had my surgery on 12/21/09. My goal is 150 which puts me at a normal bmi. I would like to be 150 by my anniversary day if possible. I feel great. I am off all my prescription meds which is what i wanted. This is the healthiest that i have ever been. Yadira

My starting weight back in May 2009 when i started getting reading for my surgery was 296-298 lbs. The friday before surgery my weight was 264lbs.
