Sorry I haven't posted. Not much had been happening, but on top of that I've been preparing for the THREE WEEK visit from my mother. Add in the launch of EverQuest 2's PVP servers, and I pretty much was wrapped up in other things. My apologies.

Today was the doctor's appointment and we were going over the lab test results.

Nothing wrong with me. Nada. Zip. Zilch. My blood pressure was perfect this time (must have been my nerves last week). I am also no longer anemic, something that I have always dealt with. Must be the increased fish and veggie consumption. My liver is perfect, my thyroid working as required, my bloodwork perfect.

On paper, I am very healthy person. The only differance between me and someone at a normal weight is the outer appearance. As always, my doctor was surprised by the results... they always assume there will be something life threatening.

My doctor pointed out that by the bloodwork and everything else, my heart disease risk is lower than the general population. How fucked up is that? People make prejudgements about fat people's health. I know it because I've heard it, seen it, and even thought it myself. I weigh more than some NFL players, but Im probably healthier than they are. Bizzare.

My doctor gave me the referral to the Bariatric Clinic at Portsmouth. However, the Clinic reviews the referral and can deny it. I will know by Sunday if I can make an appointment. At this point, I will do whatever they say. I know I will probably (if accepted into the program) be put on a three to six month supervised diet. I will work that program. Hey, if Im successful enough where I'm denied WLS, yay for me. Right now Im just so tired of my joints and back hurting, looking and feeling terrible, and feeling like a slug all the time.

Im even considering asking my mom to pay for Weight Watchers. Really, really thinking about it. It would be accepted as a supervised program.
