after open RNY Do you really only lose about 70% of excess weight?

Hi, I'm 50 yrs old, 286lb 5'3", I have been told that I will probably not be able to lose to goal, that I will likely only lose down to 177lbs ?? Is this true? I would like to see at least 145-150 I can live with that, I dont have to be a SKINNEY MINNIE, but I do want to be at least 145-150, It is depressing to think that I wont be able to get below this 70% thing, also after years out I also hear changes are very good that you will gain about 40% back? This is so scarey, I want this so bad, But I don't want to think that I would go through all of this only to know that I will eventually end up in the same boat again. Has anyone else been told this and actually lost all the weight they wanted to lose, if so, how far out are you and are you having problems with gaining it back?? Thanks in advance
