I Am Not Sure What My Goal Weight Should Be?

I am wondering what should my goal weight be? Is it a personal decision or one that my WLS surgeon made for me? I am 5'5 ( almost!! ) and I have HUGE boobs!! I wear a "G" cup. I am hoping for a breast reduction ( 5 lbs off each boob would be great!! ) and a tummy tuck... Dr. H said that they will probably take about 20lbs off the stomach. ( this was at my last visit ) Thats 30 additional lbs. And, when I had my consultation he said the surgery will probably help get me down to about 170. I am thinking the surgery will get me past that. I am just wondering what my ideal weight should be? I know that muscle weighs more then fat. It isn't so much of the # as the size I am and how I am feeling... Healthy feeling... I would appreciate any and ALL input. Thanks!!

I looked up the weight chart for women.And at 5'5 the low weight is 117,target weight 136 and high weight is 156.
Dunno if that helps but it's what the chart says we should weight for that heighth.
