To Tell or Not To Tell there is no question

Well I made it back from Vegas! I thought I was prepared but nothing can prepare you for the craziness that is SIN CITY. I wish I could say that I stayed on a healthy diet but unfortunately hot dogs and pizza crept in on vacation. Not to mention chinese food, somethings just shouldn't be available 24 hours a day. So anywho before I jetted off to Vegas I told my BF about the surgery.
I live with my BF so he probably would have noticed a trip to the hospital and 5 holes in my stomach. I was really nervous about telling him because he is super healthy and fit. Whenever he sets his mind to diet and exercise he is like super successful. So I decided to tell him over dinner, irony not lost on me.
I asked him to hear me out then let me know what he thought. I told him how I decided to do the lap band surgery and that I had been approved by Dr. V to start the 3 month program. His response was pretty standard asking about trying diet and exercise first. I'm sure if you've told anyone they probably asked the same question. I wish it was that easy for me but it's not. And I think he can see that (my waist doesn't leave much room for doubt.)
In fact he was incredibly supportive and was a little disappointed that he didn't go to the consultation with me (especially since I fainted). He wanted to know about the doctor, the risks and the long term affects (other than weight loss). I mean he was so sweet holding my hand and letting me know that he would be there. He also insisted that we do everything by the book. So no cutting corners like I usually do, I really hope I can stick to that.
Well I am exhausted. Vegas wore me out. Tomorrow I pay my first 450 bucks and start my crazy appointment schedule. I'll let you know how it goes.
