What are you telling your kids about your surgery?

Hi! I'm not planning on telling my kids that it is weight-loss surgery, but instead that I have a problem with "my tummy" and the doctor is going to fix it. Afterwards, we'll talk about how my eating has changed because of my "sick tummy". My kids are 6 & 9 yrs and are normal weight, so I don't want there to be a psycological issue about the "dieting". My mother dieted for all her life and still is, and I don't want my girls to have that "issue". What are you telling your kids?
