Great, that's something to look forward to. I've lost about 5 pounds since my expander went on and I never feel like eating. I'll probably beef up big time when this thing comes out. Grrrrrr.

Mine comes off day after tomorrow and what I look forward to is getting back my sense of taste! Everything for the last few months with it in has just had an 'off' or metallic taste to it. Nastiness!
