I have been approved for my surgery. I have let my co-workers and boss know so that they have enough time to cover my work. I work with several ladies and some are overweight, however, I am the fat one. When the word got out that I was having surgery, the comments were:
Well, what am I going to do now, I'll be the fat one.
I guess I'm going to have to go on a diet now.
I can't believe you are doing this just not to be the fat one.
I tell them that MY surgery has NOTHING to do with THEM!! I really wish they could at least try to be happy for me.
