Supportive friend?

Hi everyone! I have a problem. I'm due to have surgery on June 7th. The problem is this. My best friend is so-so-so-aganist this surgery. She told me last night that this kind of surgery disgusts her. I didn't say anything as I was taken back by that comment. I like to "chat" here in the chat room and when I told her I was doing this, she said that I was chatting with "my gastro buddies". I know everyone won't be supportive of WLS, but she is suppose to be my best friend. And yes, she is thin. What do I say to her when she makes these comments to me? And when she say's to me, "why don't you just try and diet and exercise again"? Help!!! I'm trying to maintain a positive state of mind as I get ready for this adventure! Thanks! Kristin
