Default Holy rapid approval, Batman!

I'm not only approved, much to my surprise...but my surgery is on Monday. As in this coming Monday. So much to do in only 6 days. I'm positively overwhelmed and am vacillating between a perma-grin and uncontrollable tears. I mean, I know this has been my goal for several months, but I just can't believe it's come to fruition.

Enough with the emotional stuff....I'm headed over to the August stapler's post and declaring my good fortune.

Goal! I did it!
111 pounds gone since my RNY
125 total pounds gone forever!
Reached my new goal of 130...and I think I want to stop losing now. "Stop losing now".Wow, I never thought I'd ever say that!
Looks like Donna is right though. My body doesn't seem to be done...

BMI 22.3
