I considered making a big announcement to everyone at the beginning of the year, but that would probably just invite negativity and I don't need any of that mess in my life. So, unless they search me out and find my blog, my pathway to my vertical sleeve gastrectomy in June is hush-hush. Anyway, even though the surgery is a huge life-changing decision, it's not the only big decision I have in my life right now. I've also recently accepted a new position at a financial planning/insurance company started by my uncle in the 90s.Technically, I'll be their "VP of Marketing", but I've always felt that titles were a means to make people feel important, and I'd much rather stay a little humble. I'd much rather be a "marketing coordinator". At my previous job, I worked with a marketing coordinator that absolutely amazed me with his knowledge of everything related to graphic design, social media and pretty much all things marketing. Not to knock my own abilities, but I feel that in this line of work, it's going to be a constant challenge to learn new things on a daily basis. The title of Vice President doesn't intimidate anyone except me. However, that intimidation won't last long once I get the ball rolling. I'm a Leo, after all.
Tomorrow is my second doctor's visit required by insurance to be able to get the surgery this summer. I have to attend six total appointments, along with a psychological exam, a group therapy session and an upper stomach scope. The scope will be done this Friday, so wish me luck! Anytime anesthesia is involved, there's always a risk. I'll definitely post a follow-up on what I find out!
