Doctor hurt my feelings - am I being overly sensitive or was he out of line?

Yesterday I went for the results of my sleep study. The doctor explained to me that I did have sleep apnea and did the whole 5 minute rundown of what the wavy lines on the paper meant. Later in our brief conversation he asked what weight I wanted to get down to and I told him "whatever is healthy... 150-170, I think". He asked me how tall I was and I told him 5'7" to which he very tersely corrected my estimation of what was healthy by saying "140." He then asked me how much I weighed now. I told him and he said and I QUOTE "whew... you've got a long way to go then". Now maybe I'm just being overly sensitive and it's alright to tell me that. But if ya'll think that was out of line, then I'm going to write a couple of letters (to him and the referring surgeon). Thanks as always, Christina
