Is there hope for losing more than they are telling me?

I am 32 with a herniated disc in my back. Had back surgery for another disc 10 years ago. I have a difficult time with any type exercise and they tell me that I will probably lose only 50% of excess weight. Is there hope for losing more? And won't my back pain improve after taking off excess weight? I am hoping that it will and I WILL be able to move more. Please, anyone with any encouragement. Thanks.
