The 100 lbs. is a guideline. Check out www.usbariatric.com and use their BMI calculator to see if you are a good candidate.

I'm not sure its for me and I worry because my husband said a lady died last week. I guess it was on the news. Its more for me and my self awareness. I need something extra to loose the weight. After 2 kids and 2 knee surgeries I'm not as active or aloud to be as I was when I was active Navy. Puts a damper on your life for sure. You have to be 100 lbs overweight by whose standards though? My doctor said I was morbidly obese so I wasn't sure. Is there a table that says you need to be this lbs for this height?
