I will be having my surgery in late Aug., and I am starting to worry about the effects that it may have on my 3 kids. Especially my 11 yr old daughter. A couple of years ago, she just started putting on weight. She eats what my boys eat, but they must have a higher metabolism because they are both in normal range for their weight. I don't want her to want to have surgery. But I don't want to be a hypocrite.

Has anybody else had to deal with reactions from their kids???

I am on the other end of your spectrum my mother has gastric bypass and I have two brothers. I felt like she was showing favortism by letting them eat whatever but my mother sat me down and explained her journey and I SLOWLY understood as I got older now I wanna have wls just like her but I never reached the weight she did she helped me out allot in the long run by educating me about !!
