Doctors appointments

So, in order to have this surgery, in addition to meeting first with a surgeon, you must also get evaluated by a cardiologist, pulminologist (who will also conduct a sleep study for my sleep apnea), psychiatrist and your regular physician and have a consultation with a nutritionist. I thought scheduling all these doctors would take several weeks or even months. I started making phone calls last week and yesterday and have every single doctor scheduled between May 21 and June 3. I can't believe it!! This makes me a little nervous because now I can potentially have the surgery sooner then I originally thought by a few weeks. Obviously, now my meeting with the surgeon on June 30 will be incredibly informative. I hope we can discuss all of the evaluations at that appointment, but I have a feeling I will have to come back another time for insurance reasons. I know this will be a good thing. I actually told someone I was friendly with at work this morning that I was doing it and she made me feel a little better about it. Speaking of which, I'm undecided about what I want to tell people and who exactly I want to tell. I'm not sure I want to tell everyone I'm doing this. Family and some close friends, fine, but what do I say when I start going to clients and they make a comment about my weight loss?? I guess I hesitate because maybe I'm a little embarrassed I let myself get to this point and now have to take drastic actions to get things under control when every other diet I ever tried only minimally worked. I never wanted to believe it, but I think I do now...obese people are viewed differently in the world. Will people look at me differently if I say I had surgery vs. doing it the traditional way?? Does it really matter what these people think?? I guess I'll deal with it when the time comes. On another subject, I do hoope this surgery helps with my laziness and procrastination. I don't think I was ever this bad before my weight gain, but now I know it's because I hate sweating and being out of breath from the smallest of tasks and just hate making any effort at this point to do anything physical much beyond the things I absolutely have to. Since I've been doing so much work on my house the past month, I see how important it is to have this weight off. Maybe things would have been a little easier for me to do. I know I said earlier I'm nervous about the surgery, but I am definitely excited to get my life back.
