I have a date!!
The first friend I told said: "Great, are you going to dinner? a movie?"....
Nope, a SURGERY DATE!!! September 26 it is!!!
Had my follow-up visit with the surgeon today and everything looks good. I had a goal to lose 33 lbs. and I've lost 41 so he was very happy. After poking around he said he'd be able to do it laparscopically and we're ready to go. I'm so danged excited!
