I am sorry you have to go through that, I know it can be hard. My 2 best friends felt like I didnt care for their opinion, in her words, "It sounds like you're telling us this just to tell us not because you want our opinion and you dont care how we feel." It made me mad that theu weren't supportive at first but come to find out they were just incredibly worried about me going to Mexico for surgery by myself. On a sad note she isnt talking to me anymore either, her loss

I just don't understand it. I would not react or act like this, but I am a different person and everyone acts differently. It just really really sucks. I hate feeling like I'm a monster. It's horrible.

You aren't a liar or a monster. Surgery is private and you don't owe anyone an explanation! If she was a true friend she would have been supportive. You deserve better and don't let anyone get you down. Congrats on your weight loss and best of luck to you on your journey!

Hi, it sounds like she is hurt that you didn't confide in her about your plans. She may be scared you are changing without her. However, it gives her no right to be rude and hateful especially in this very personal decision you have made to better your health and life. Be confident in your decision, make new friends and enjoy a healthier new you - you will be happier for it. You are a great person, a person who is looking after your own welfare, being your own advocate - it doesn't get much better than that!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
