They don't understand

I have two questions: 1. Did any of you have tummy tuck type improvements made at the time of your bypass surgeries? and 2. You can tell my surgery is upon me but I've been thinking about writing some good-bye letters to my kids just in case a worst possible scenario should unfold. Did any of you do that? They have been tremendously supportive but all three wish I wouldn't do it and I know that deep down they don't really "get" why this risk is worth taking to me. I don't want them to be bitter or angry if something bad happens. But what to say... I'm at a loss to think of anything which might comfort them or help them understand. They are grown but I don't think it would help much. I can't very well educate them after the fact and they think this is just crazy mom doing something way too radical. Any wisdom from the group would be welcome. Thanks, Carol in Philly
