Are my expectations unrealistic? From 500+ to a Size 10?

Hello everyone.I am pre op,and I am waiting to see my surgeon,and I have been wondering this silently to myself for a while. I am 23 years old,and right now,I weigh in close to about 500 lbs,I believe. That is a guess-timation,due to the fact that I haven't been weighted in years. My question is,is my goal after getting my surgery of getting down to a size 10 unrealistic? I have seen on one website,http://www.lvcm.com/njtomato/index.htm,where she went from over 500 pounds down to 165 or around there,and that inspires me and gives me hope. Has anyone else been this high up in weight,and lost well down enough to fit into a size 10? I appreciate any and all comments. Thank you,and good luck on your journey.
