How to tell the kids

[jenbaby75 283]

Oops, I meant to add, this is a very personal procedure, there is no harm done if you choose not to tell your kids what you are doing. It really isn't anybody else's business.

Thanks for all the different opinions. After I got my final insurance approval today (I had my surgery date already but this just made it more real), I decided to tell them.well, actually my 15 yr old saw the Flintstones Vitamins and said Why do we have these? She was really confused, so it actually was the perfect time. My 17 yr old son said good for me and he was proud. My daughter said she wondered why I had so many spots lately. They aren't dumb so honesty was best. The clinker....they both said " don't tell M", my daughter studying abroad!

I also told them this is just between us...I don't want people knowing. I am not embarrassed or anything but I have a nosy, gossipy sister who works in a very large office where I used to work, and she's always negative about certain ones she's told me who have done the surgery. I also have a brother in law who loves to tell everyone everything...I just don't want this on the evening news lol.
