The same way you would tell them if you were having a hysterectomy or a knee replacement or a root canal.
You and your doctor have decided that you are having surgery....then walk them through the appropriate information based on what you know about them, their maturity and their ability to digest and react.
Be available to answer any questions. Tell them if it means they have to do anything unusual (stay at family if you have to overnight at the hospital), things like that.
If you make it dramatic, they will too; if you don't they probably won't.

Hi I'm mother of two wonderful boys Hank who is 12, and Cash who is 9, and My question how do I tell them I going to have weight loss surgery?
Research your surgeon well making sure he or she is board certified and has good patient reviews. Make sure you have a support system. Set goals.
I am so happy with mine. It was a lot of money, but I compared it to what I spend on a car and decided my health was worth it.

I had no idea! I just thought juicing was healthy and never even looked into it. Thank you for this information.
whitedove, those are all very valid points. As we get older bones deteoriate but as we get heavier the joints too and my surgeon was adamant if it hurt hold off until it didn't. I think walking is excellent exercise but I am almost 100% sure it would be difficult for someone in a super morbid category like myself. I will have to check out a recumbent bike. Its too cold to walk right now.
I would add to this ...If you see a level of something like iron beginning to drop. Monitor that more closely and be proactive about it.-Doctors will not get concerned about it even should it drop slightly below normal.Once it is too low -it can be hard to get levels back to your normal... esp true on iron..
An Internist in after care once told me-" liver is the perfect food.- it has everything the human body requires to utilize iron." I ate it for 5 days a week /2 times a day- for a total of 8 weeks ...to begin my HGB, and Hct's to begin to gain. I have transitioned to desiccated so i don't need to taste it.i did not tolerate feso4, and could not take the horse pill sized ones...
Yes, lab are very important to determine YOUR needs.
D3 levels also depend on the amount of sunshine you receive.
I was told 10K was the max for general use of vitamin D3.D3 is important to use bcause the body can use it as it is without any changes to it.. D2 requires changes for the body to utilize.
DH's(hubs) labs have proved...he had been on 5k one day and 10K alternating for 6 months. Dr found out he was on that dose-and checked levels and they were in midline of normal values for that lab...
I take a K2 with D3-5000mg (k2 is a mineral mover and has enabled me to have less need of magnesium which upsets my stomach.), a MVI that has 200% of copper.and 1000mg D3-..daily( bursting blood vessels and diet diary helped me determine was not getting enough copper.) selenium,zinc and sea kelp every other day., Multi -collagen 2-3 day.. a calcium and magnesium supplement at night. Desiccated liver capsules 3 day. in am. away from all minerals and stomach preps..If i do heavy activity that initiates muscle cramps i use epsom salt foot soak for 30 minutes, for magnesium boost and cbd capsule( since is legal now)and apply heating pad.
Oil of oregano capsules,3 am and 3 pm.- for sinus/allergy, lyme, various antibacterial and antiviral applications.prevacid , 30 mg dose. (OTC)for intermittent gastritis acc. to symptoms.
- forgot to add, nutritionally support your knees and hips.. Bone broth is one good way so is a multi-collagen nutritional .(broth also counts as a liquid protein)..re:collagen.. look for one with 5 kinds of collagen...several are out there. It does take time, to heal cartilage and ligaments that are weak, or injured. just went thru this with a shoulder injury.
