Has anyone had inconsiderate accusations made at work due to WLS?

Please bare with me. This may sound so stupid but I guess I just really need to vent to people who understand where I've been. I am 10 months post-op RNY. It's been a hard road as I sure some of you understand, but well worth my health & nearly the 140 lbs. I've lost to date. My punk of a manager told EVERYONE I work with that I threw up outside the back room door. I was really upset to hear that from one of my co-workers that he was going around telling everyone it was me. Which sounds so petty. Apparently he found out through the grape vine about my surgery. Although, when I confronted him about it. He got this dumb look on his face like I was stupid for asking him and said to me "well, I understand you get sick a lot so I just assumed it was you!" I then said to him, you asked me once before if I did & I told you no but you are still going around like a child & saying childish accusaions like that to everyone?! Not to mention I have enough couth & sense that if I AM sick (which I wasn't) to go to the bathroom like a normal human being which happens to be right next to the back door anyhow!! He just looked at me!! No apology, nothing!! That really, really upset me!!! For him to go around like a child accusing me of basically having no manners & acting like some kind of animal just because of my WLS. I am LIVID! I'm so upset I'm about ready to go to the HR department about it. Am I being too sensitive or can you understand where I am coming from? Should I go to HR, if so on what basis? I don't want him to EVER treat me again like some kind of rabbid animal with no common sense or professionalism because of this surgery and I refuse to put up with it!
