Anyone Have Someone Close To Them Who Opposes This Surgery?

I have a close friend of 40 years who is very opposed to my having this surgery. She doesn't believe in altering one's body for the sake of weight loss. I should add that she has never been overweight more than 8 pounds in her life.

I had really hoped to have her support in this because she is like a sister to me. But, she wants me to try dieting one more time.

Anyone else have this issue with a close friend or family member who absolutely does not want you to have this surgery?
