How do I tell my son I'm going to have weight loss surgery

Hi everybody I was just wondering if you can answer this question for me how do I tell my 5 year old son I'm having weight loss surgery I don't want him to be scared or worried about me.

At five years old he probably just needs to be told that you will be going to the hospital for a day or so. He does not need to know it is for weight loss surgery. Let him know when you are going and who will be taking care of him. You could tell him that the doctor is going to make you feel better and that you will be able to do more things with him. Let him know that you will be fine and that there is nothing to be worried about.

I had surgery on Tuesday, home on Thursday, did housework during weekend and back to work full time on Monday. i kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but just kept feeling better with more energy every day. Hope it goes really easy for you too.
