Hey guys! I had my initial consult today - there is so much to do before surgery!! I have decided in getting the RNY procedure done, but my surgeon told me with my high BMI (65), that would not get me into the "normal BMI" range. His goal for me would be 250! HUH?? That sounds much better than my current weight but seriously?? I was hoping a goal of 175 would be possible for me if I really did stick to the plan and changed my mind along with my body. 

Any have any advice on this? I know I have seen many people on here with a similar start weight that are able to make it to onderland...
