I was told I had surgery to get attention

Yes, you read right. I was told today that I had surgery because I'm an attention whore.

i was really puzzled. I don't deny I like attention, but I didn't do this to get sympathy or attention... I think dropping all the extra weight will lead to attention and I can't really help that.

I had made my mind up and instead of making excuses or procrastinating, I found a place in Tijuana that could do it ASAP, booked a first class round trip ticket, went by myself and get my tummy cut out. My spouse didn't go with me. :( . All I heard the entire time I was gone was... I miss you so much! Please get home! We talked everyday I was gone. I got home a day early. We're both needy which we will readily admit but I couldn't believe what I was accused of today.

Was wondering if anyone else has been told the same by their spouse? This was the first time I've heard anything along these lines.

Well, of COURSE that's why you did it - isn't that why we all risk our lives to get this done?

Sorry, sarcasm is my first language. I'm really sorry you're dealing with this, and I sure hope you're able to work things out. Don't let it derail your progress - you're worth more than that.
