there are some seriously passive aggressive people posting on some of these boards....seriously, grow the hell up and if you can't say anything nice (kind, helpful, encouraging, etc.) don't say anything at all!
Second that. It's baffling to me that people think their view is gospel and they have a right to attack your desire to maintain your surgery a private matter. Rude!
One sees it her/his way another his/her way and then all hell breaks loose. It is not a personal attack because no one really knows each other. It is opinions and thoughts that get out of hand. Just take what you need and move on. That's what I try to do!
