Achievement and lost friend

Someone posted about losing friends for having successful sleeve surgery. Here's my experience. A lifelong friend came to Houston to have prostate cancer surgery. He did not mentioned the date and time of the surgery. Worried and concerned family and friends contacted me to check on him. He is overweight, and need to lose 100 pounds as part of his treatment. In visiting him, I explained the details of the sleeve but never suggested he have one (his wife asked). After he was discharged from the hospital and returned home (all cancer removed). I called him several times to check on his condition. Don't know if is his mental outlook about the cancer or my successful weight loss. But he is not returning my calls.

I just put it to a friend lost.

Did you try calling his wife or writing him a letter/email? He might not be returning calls from anyone. I hope you don't lose him as a friend, since you have known him all of your life.

He is calling other family members. Don't know about friends.
