I'm sure they want nothing but a healthy life for you and to see how much energy you now have, any parent would be the happiest person in the world. My dad was scheduled to have surgery 4 month's after me and at that point i was already down over 100 lbs and he actually went under the knife before the surgeon decided it was too dangerous and wouldn't do it, which really bummed him out, but one of the things that he said to me was at least if only one of us could have it done at least it was you. Which really showed how much a parent just wants what is best for their children. Relax it'll all be fine.
Well they will be shocked, elated, excited, a little nervous because it is a new you, ,maybe not mind but definently body. I really think they will take your cue's and go with it as you want them to. What I mean is, when people don't know how to act they usually look to the person they are nervous around for cue's on how to act. Unless your family is mean and unsupportive which I am sure they aren't then you have nothing to worry about. These are the people who gave you life and I am sure all they've ever wanted for you is your health and happiness which they will surely see when they look into your eyes. Best of luck to you and don't worry, they're gonna love you.
