How do I tell my children?

My kids are totally fine with this decision, however... My dad is a whole other story! Why at the age of 43 does it still bother me so much when one of my parents disagree with a decision of mine??? Ugh!!!

I get it I think even adults sometimes are kids forever to their parents. I lost my mom @21 but I have an aunt who is very close to me like a 2nd mother and I'm not telling her I don't want to hear what she has to say it might just give me anxiety & make me nervous.

Yep...same here! I am easily discouraged and it gives me anxiety so I just need to give him very limited information and remember I am doing this for me!

I am wondering if she will see me having this surgery and think to herself - well, if Mom can do it that way, then so will I.

YES, YES, YES. That's exactly what I'm thinking too.
