Lorraine, although they are strong words, my kudos to Dr. Oh. I have

a huge issue with surgeons telling patients a goal weight number. To

me, it sets the patient up for disappointment and feelings of failure

if they do not reach that goal. Also, the surgeons not allowing for

the huge differences in genetics, yo-yo dieting, body type,

lifestyles, whatever, and frankly, they're just not that good!

Don't beat yourself up for chosing the wrong surgery. None of us

ever know where our bodies will settle after surgery. Some have very

short proximals, and are able to get down to the MetLife " normal "

chart weights, others never will through no fault of their own. Just

do what you need to do, and know that we're here for you whenever you

need us.

Hugs,
