What sort of weight loss should I expect?

Ok guys, I am just curious what the average weight loss with this surgery for someone who weighs around 300lbs preop. I am considering the surgery, but I am afraid that after 100 pounds or so...I won't lose anymore weight. I know someone who had the surgery who is almost 2 years postop, and she could still stand to lose at least 80 pounds more. I am afraid that after going through all this trauma of surgery, that I will still be "fat." I know I will come out thinner than before, but I still don't want to remain a large woman. My friend follows her diet very strictly, and exercises, but can't seem to lose much more. She sorta just stopped losing after the inital 100 came off. I want to get to at least 155-160lbs. So, that would mean a weight loss of around 150lbs. Is this possible??? If I follow the directions perfectly and exercise as much as I can....is it possible to lose this much with a starting weight of 300? Please let me know! Thanks so much!
