If your orienation was at KP Richmond, you just figure

out what is 10% of whatever you weighed on their scale

and that is how you know. I started out at 249.5 and

had to get down to 225 (the day of surgery I was at

221). Some have reported that the surgeon request

that they lose more than the 10% but it is only for

their healthy and it makes for an easier

surgery/recovery the less you weigh as well as give

them more room to get around on your insides because

the less you weigh, it causes your organs to deflat

instead of being all swollen.

I can't speak for SF or Fremont.

I hope that helps.
