It just got real

Apr 19, 2014

I went to my pcp yesterday to get a checkup and a referral for a surgeon. This was my first doctor visit in 10 years and I was very relieved to see that my blood pressure is good and I am in good health aside from my weight. I'm going on Tuesday to get blood drawn. She gave me a referral for a surgeon and I called almost right away to schedule an appointment. I have to attend a seminar first and lucky for me they are having one on Monday.  After that I'm supposed to get a call in a couple days to schedule my consultation. It's really happening. It's not just thoughts in my head and fantasies of a better life. I'm going to make this happen. Right now my feelings are a mixture of anxiety and excitement. 

I'm going to my mom's today for Easter dinner. I'm thinking of telling her about this but I'm nervous. I want her to be happy for me and proud that I'm trying to change but at the same time I want her to be concerned about this and worry about the risks involved. I guess what I want most of all though is support. That's the most important.
