So, I had my second visit with my primary care physician today. I like my PCP, he's seems a good guy, even though he kept me waiting for over an hour today. The blood pressure was down to a more appropriate level. Now I just need to finish up the blood tests, which I'll do tomorrow morning.
I've noticed lately that I still feel guilty about deciding to have this procedure done. I'm not sure how to explain that but it seems to me that most, if not all, fat people are looked down upon in some degree or another by society. Especially when you weight gets really out of control. People roll their eyes and in some cases even wonder out loud how someone could let their condition get to that point. Inside, we all live with the idea that it's really our fault and if we were just a little "stronger" that we could just lose the weight. Perhaps that is true, I don't know. However, it strikes me as telling a person suffering from depressionary issues that if they'd just try a little harder they'd be happy. Nevertheless, in my own case it's certainly true that I live with the guilty idea that I'm just copping out and if I'd try a little harder, the weight would roll right off.
I think that may be why I've decided to keep the fact that I'm having this procedure a bit of a secret. Not that it can be a secret for long but I'm not Star Jones so I suppose folks won't be nearly as nosy since I don't have my television show or anything.
