Jealous of others having WLS?

Hi everyone- A person I know who doesn't seem very nice is having WLS. This person has displayed rudeness and prejudice toward others on several occasions. (I am being very vague on the details because I'm so appalled by my own feelings.) When I found out this rude person is scheduled for WLS before I am, I had to get up from the room to go cry privately, as I have been waiting a long time. I am feeling very ashamed for all the obvious reasons: the rude person waited a long time too, I am no more deserving than anyone else of this gift, I'm far from perfect, my feelings seem immature and downright mean, etc etc etc. With the help of prayer and family/friend support, I have been working thru these feelings, but I was wondering if anyone else has ever felt this way? This has been the ONLY time I've been jealous of someone having WLS when I don't have a set date yet. On all other occasions, I've felt happy and been given a new sense of hope. If you have felt this way, how have you dealt with it? I need some inspiring examples to help me let go of it. Thanks, Mea :o)
