Please help....I feel very afraid and so sad right now

I had RNY on 6/26, In the hospital I weighed 296 and at my first consult in March I was 280. I am down to 220 lbs. and I felt so great, I am in jeans I never thought I could wear again and I can go into a store and buy a size large sweater, people think I am melting before their eyes. I saw my Dr. today for my 4 mo. post op and he said he was not to pleased with my 60 lb. weight loss (he goes by the 280 lb. starting weight)in 5 months..I corrected him and said it's only 4 months, he did say well then I take it back, your doing ok a little slow but ok. I do feel I'm kind of a slow loser but what the heck I am so grateful for the 75 lbs. He then explained after my asking a question that my pouch could stretch and that I could gain...I thought that being he transected that it would not stretch too much, I also asked how much he bypassed ( I was part of a study and could either be 100 cm or 150 cm), and until now did not want to know the answer, well he said I was the standard and it was 100cm, I am devistated and wish I had never asked, now I feel doomed. I know that this operation is just a tool, but I am so afraid of going back to my old habits being my pouch can stretch so much....we all have the graetest intentions, but as so many of you know it'so so easy to get back off track. Anyone a long term post op with only 100 cm bypassed and are you doing ok....I am so sorry I went to the Dr. today, I'm afraid of going back into a depression...a place that I havn't been to in a long time. Thank you for listening.
