Frustrated

You could always try, "My surgery is a private matter now. It's between me and my doctor. You don't have to concern yourself with it."

(The last line meaning NONEOFYOUREFFINBUSINESS!

I would have the surgery and find some new friends

Well mark me down as someone that knows someone that had a successful procedure. My friends stepdad had it done YEARS ago. And while he looked like he got in a fight with a thug for a while he has felt better ever since.

I like Candace's suggestion.

I had the surgery done many years ago and it made the world of difference to me. I still have allergies that cause sinus problems, but I very rarely seem to get sinus infection any more. Before the surgery, I was sick all the time.

I also think your attitude going into surgery makes a huge difference. If you are sure it will make a difference and you will seem to have less problems than those who go into it with a bad attitude.

I told my one friend today that I didn't appreciate their poo-poo-ing my happiness. I told them a lot of people have had it successfully.

Now.... if only the other friend would shut his mouth. I mentioned that hubby is getting the LapBand eweight loss surgery sometime this year. He said "oh so you want him to become Adonnis yet you eat yourself into looking like a whale?" My chin his the floor. Did I fail to mention my one friend is a complete arrogant jerk with a sarcastic sense of humor?

OMG!!

And this person is STILL your friend why??? My chin hit the floor when I read this too. That totally sounds like something my father would say, but at least he's my father. That is NOT okay!!!

Don't even CALL that jerk a friend.

Oh man, I would be out of that person's life in a jiffy. I can't believe anyone would ever tell another person something so hurtful, don't see how you can call him a friend. Time to look around for new REAL friends.

I figured that would set you all off. Thing is, he's a coworker and I can't avoid him. My coworkers and I are all good friends.... more like a dysfunctional family. This guy rakes my nerves more than anyone else can. Hubby thinks he has a secret crush on me. Blech!

BUT I can count on him to be 100% uncensored honest. You cvan't expect that from too many people these days and I value honesty a lot. Though I would appreciate censoring the hurtful things. My manager's eyes bugged out when I told him about the whole whale comment.
