Sorry to hear your friend is not being supportive. I had not realized how many people get worked up about what others do in this area and think they get to have input, but my friend who had the procedure said she sent out a mass group email telling people she had chosen to do it and it was her decision, and she trusted her md and was not doing it lightly etc and so to keep opinions to themselves. I asked her why the email when she told me she sent it and she said some people had responded like your friend.
