I fixed it by combining two functions into one:

Code:
function adder_func
         {
         TYPE=$1
         if [ -s sizes.$TYPE ]; then
            let sum=0
            for i in `cat sizes.$TYPE`
            do
             ((i=$i-5104))
             ((new_sum=$i + $sum))
             sum=$new_sum
            done
            ((meg_sum=$new_sum/1024))
            ((gig_sum=$meg_sum/1024))
            ((last_sum=$gig_sum*$NUMBER))
            echo ${last_sum}G
           else
            break
          fi
         }

## Call the adder_func function and output to value.txt to get the max size for your lvol.
adder_func size > value.txt

Now everything will be GigaByte readable, instead of in KBytes.

And now the output of value.txt:
2495G

And the effect:

Are you ready to create a lvol in fakedg?
Enter 'y' for Yes or 'n' for No :y

Enter the name of your lvol.

Lvol name :fakelvol

Enter the size of your lvol.
The maximum size is: 2495G

Lvol size :
