@@allyray I'm having the same issue. My sons are 15 and 17 and I waited til I was approved for surgery before I told them. I knew it would be a difficult conversation, and I was right. I would say their reactions were as expected. At first they were angry. Then I explained how this surgery was gonna help me be healthier and I won't be on medicine anymore. Then they were sad, saying you don't need this, just go to the gym and eat healthy. Then they became concerned about complications. Needless to say I was a basket case. I cried and cried. I talked to a friend who said, maybe I should show them some more info and let them see the results of others on this journey. Needless to say, it worked!!! That and lots of prayer. Now I feel a little more at ease. They are not 100% but I'll take it. I am scheduled for a Feb 2, 2015 surgery. My prayers go out to you. Good luck on your journey.

Kimdlawson06 Wow that's Awesome!!!
