How Do I Tell My Mom I'm Having Another Surgery?
Got some great advice so far. Just showing you a little support.
I think if you ask her for her support, it may take her a few days to come around, but I bet she will be there for you and not feel as upset as with your wls.
Good luck!

You look gorgeous! Love the nursing cap! Do they still have the cap and pin ceremony?

You have gotten some great advice. I don't know that I have any advice for you, just wanted to wish you good luck.
Hope everything goes ok when you talk to her or you might have to give her some time to think about your decision. I'll bet she will come around. Most moms only want what is best for their children. Maybe if you tell her how much your breast hurt and cause you problems it will help her understand.
Let us know and we are here to support you!!

I'd suggest you invite her over and cook her a nice meal, have some wine, and chat. Then spill it. She'll see that you're so mature, taking care of her place nicely, you are taking care of yourself (you cooked). You might want to "ask her advice" about the matter, explain the pros and cons, etc. I bet by the end she'll be OK with it.
Do your best to be honest with her about why you think you need to do this now. I know if it was my situation, my mother would never support me going into debt to do something like this - we're credit card free and save up for everything we want. She would throw an absolute fit if I was going into debt instead of waiting until I could afford the surgery - but only because she cares about me and would feel obligated to give me her best advice.
If your mom needs to know about this, then you just tell her what your plan is and like some above have stated, just ask for her advice - but be willing to listen if you ask. She is supporting you right now and she also has a lot of life experience as well.
Good luck!
