Not really a question... just need some support

I had WLS 9/11/00 and lost most of the weight the first year. I was maintaing my weight at around 145 and am 5'7". This past August I had a bowel obstruction that I had emergency surgery for. After I got home from the hospital I noticed that my weight dropped to around 130. Though I still had a normal BMI, I did feel uncomfortably thin and I've since regained to 138 (wearing a size 4) and like where I'm at. Little did I realize the reaction I would get from friends/coworkers/family. My mother is now under the impression that I'm aneorexic though I politely asked her to research the topic thoroughly before offering a "motherly" diagnosis. I also found out through the work grapevine (don't you love those) that other people think I'm aneorexic as well. Though I'm very hurt by people discussing me behind my back, I'm wondering if any of you are going through the same thing. I checked the library and found similar topics and answers but I can really use a hug right now :( Seems that only WLS people can understand me right now.
