I was told on one forum they go by your start weight. Then at the Informational seminar when the questions was asked. the nurses answer was " Our patients don't take off a whole lot of weight". Im excited thats all I gotta do is the 6 months and get my PCP's clearance but I don't understand this diet thing at all... I'm waiting to talk to my Nutritionist to see whats going on and what i need to do. She will be the one monitoring me
