Dr P says my goal weight is 140..............

Can some one please explain to me the differcene between ideal body weight and the goal weight, and do most people reach the goal weight set by their surgion and how long does that normally take??Thanks

Hiya ! Doc P initially set my goal weight at 155..which will be a BMI of 25. That is the highest normal BMI. When I do the calculator, it says my ideal body weight is 142.. I think that puts me right in the middle of the range for a healthy BMI. When I went for my six month check up, Chris said I should shoot for around 170. Personally, I will be thrilled to get to the 155 (Normal) Check your goals as they relate to BMI

Dr. D says that their goal set for me is 141, but for my height I should be like 124-130, I'll be satified just to get to 150 tho. Melissa
