how do you respond to comlements?

I'm doing a bandacise class at the gym and most of the women don't know that I've had WLS. The other day they were all going on about how thin I was looking and how great I was doing losing weight. (with the thought that our class was really helping me do that I'm sure) Exercise is helping me lose the weight but mostly, WLS is the main factor. When people compliment me, and don't know about WLS, I just say thank you or smile but I don't feel that I'm deserving of the compliment because I feel that WLS is doing all the work. If I'm complimented one on one, I usually will say that I've had this surgery and that's why I'm loosing. Am I crazy?? This is driving me crazy because I don't feel like I'm doing any of the work to lose and that WLS is the only reason I'm losing. All comments are appreciated! 9mo post-op, 140#'s lost.
