how much loss to expect with lapband

I just attended the info seminar and it was said that the most I can expect to lose with the lapband is approx. 35-40% of excess weight. Is this true for those of you who have had lapband? I am about 200 lbs. overweight and this would mean the most I can look forward to losing is 70-80 lbs. This makes no sense to me and I said so but I was told to have realistic goals and expectations and the 70-80 lb loss is all I should expect.
