 I had the VSG, and it depends whether you ask me or the doctor.  :)  I think I had 85-90 pounds to lose, and he said 60-70.  We'll see who wins!

I had RNY 6/28/10 and hope to lose at least 100 lbs. My dr. doesn't set goals, but will be happy when I lose another 19 lbs or so.

I originally had surgery in 2002 and weighed 240 lbs and I wanted to lose 100 lbs. I lost down to 120 lbs and then regained to 220 lbs. I had a revision on 7/23/2010 and so far I am down about 25 lbs. My goal is 140 lbs so I had about 80 lbs to lose this time.
I had a DS in 2002 and for my revision I had my common channel lengthened and my stomach made smaller.

I had a DS in 2007 with 80 pounds to lose. I've lost those and have kept all but 5 pounds of a little bounce back off...dang hormones!  

Keep in mind that it's not all about initial weight loss, sometimes it's about your comorbidities, physical disabilities and eating habits too.

RNY- (5 weeks ago)....started at 206 and my initial goal is 130 so I need to lose about 55 more pounds.  When I graduated high school I weighed 130 and was still "chubby"  so I don't know if I will need to go down lower to look good.  I haven't weighed under 150 in 20 years!!!   Just can't imagine it yet!
  HW/SW/CW/Goal.....219  / 206 /  122 / 130
