HI bmeagain!
Congrats on your surgery! I had mine Friday, Aug 14 and I agree that the meeting with Dr Miranda seemed rushed. We didn't discuss a goal weight for me but I didn't mind. My thinnest was 142 but I look best at 150-160#. So I'll see.
It's day 3 for me and I'm working through the gas. The gas pains are something no one can tell you about, I think -- I didn't expect to burp so much! And walking only pushes it out the other end!
Here's to our journey!
