Does anyone else feel guilty about having this operation?

I've lost 123 pounds since last year and I'm almost 6 months out. I told only my closet family and closet friends about my surgery. No one at my job knows, only one person who is considering it. Now, I get so many complaints about my weight lost that it is sicking. And people are always asking me how I did it, and I tell them that I went on optifast and now I'm doing a high protein diet. Sometimes when I tell them that I feel guilty because though it isn't a whole lie, it is not the whole truth either. Now, I don't feel embarrassed about having the surgery, because I know my health was at stake....So please give me some of your thoughts on this issue.
