I do agree with you. I don't think she needs to tell everyone she had surgery. It's none of their business. But it also seems wrong to answer the way she answers, which is false.

I'm not sure what a good answer would be that would be truthful without being too much personal information. That's why I posted this.

I also wonder if some people who could really benefit from gastric bypass might be more inclined to do it if they learned that she had done it and done so well. I think that is definitely the kind of procedure that people do largely based on word of mouth and personal exposure to people who have gone through it. Not that it is her job to be the poster child for gastric bypass, but perhaps by answering honestly she could help others in the same situation as she was.
