Default Any Credence to an 8 month window?

This week I met someone who had under gone a gastric bypass. She has lost 120 pounds and would like to lose another 20. Its been 8 months. She told me that the doctors told her that she would lose 90% of what she would ever lose during the first 8 months. She's a little disappointed because her weightloss has stopped.
I am at the weight now (198) that I was at the 8 month point. I've gained and lost 8-10 pounds over the past 6 months and have not been able to maintain at the lower end even though I've remained essentially on induction level carbs and for the past several months I've tried to keep my calories lower 1400-1600. I'm wondering if there is something to the 8 month window for all weightloss. If I'd known, I would have been more vigilant during those early days, especially if I'm destined not to lose anymore.
What do you guys think?
