Who set your goal weight - you or your surgeon?

I see so many post on people reaching their goal weight and some goals are set high and some are lower. Take me as an example, my surgeon has set my goal for 200lbs. (I'm 5'8"). Now I know that this is not a healthy weight for me and that according to charts, I should be between 140-150. I did weigh 150 many moons ago and felt great, therefore my goal for myself is 145. But what I really want to know is who set your weight goal and was there a big difference between your goal and your surgeons? If so, was it difficult to reach your chosen weight? Seems like this surgery could be modified to bring us closer to 100% excess weight loss. Thanks in advance.
