Thanks for the well wishes for my surgery

I will most likely be up for a lil visit .. walk .. decaf coffee

my suggestion is to tell him that you will be gone or a few days to learn some new things to help with your weight loss.  I am assuming that he realizes that you are working on loseing weight to make you a healthy mommy.  Also that when you get home he can help you stay on track with what you have learnt.

Hopefully then he will not worry and feel apart of your changes in life.  It covers some truth without him worrying about surgery.

Hope this helps.

Dr Amson told my friend that even though BC Medical does pay for the extra skin to be removed, in the panni area.......the doctors barely get paid for it, and most won't do it because of that.
The trick is to find a doctor who will do it for what they pay.

My friend just seen someone in Duncun and I'm waiting to hear how that went.

I am looking for suggestions on what to tell my 5 year old son about surgery. 

My first thought is to tell him I am going away for a few days (Im a brownie leader, so this is not un-common).  And when I Get home just tell him I have a sore tummy and need to take it easy.

I dont want him to worry about me.  He's had a pretty hard time adjusting to kindergarten this year. 
And also views the hospital as a bad place....my dad had surgery in the summer, and he went through a really rough time.  So my son thinks the hospital is bad...

Another thing, he is 5...and he is chatty!  I really dont want him to tell his whole class about my surgery.  Id rather not everyone know. 

So my options are - prepare him and tell him im going for surgery, gall bladder maybe? 
or tell him that Im just going away for a few days?

any suggestions?
