Hi PhillyGirl..
Thanks for the information. Looks like we are very much in the same place . I was 293 lbs at my highest weight. Lost 33 lbs preop. My doctor never discussed goal weight, but I am thinking 180 or 170lbs.
The outpatient option wasnt bad at all except the pain. I was surprised how hard it was to get up from a chair though. I DO try to get up every hour or so to walk.
Keep in touch.. Traci
